The Wedding Banquet (Andrew Ahn, 2025)","description":"Alex reviews Andrew Ahn's 2025 adaptation of the 1993 film The Wedding Banquet,&amp;nbsp;starring Lily Gladstone, Youn Yuh-jung, and Joan Chen (and many more). The film is about two queer couples who end up conspiring to marry one half of each couple in exchange for a green card and money for IVF treatments. Alex discusses the film's unexpected delights \u2014 including the wonderful, tender sound design and lovely blocking \u2014 and how the film thoughtfully updates (and even queers some more) Ang Lee's classic queer rom-com. **Stay updated on the best under-the-radar films that just might shift your perspective by joining the Seventh Row Newsletter: http:\/\/email.seventh-row.com **Want to join Alex and a group of movie lovers to watch and discuss a Queer African film in May 2025?
