Saving Face
Description
This story seems quite strange, as it is highly controversial because of its conflict with culture. That story began with a Chinese-American lesbian and her traditional mother who were reluctant to appear to the public with secret love. This story may seem to contradict the culture of a society that seems stable and stable.

Wu has a keen ear for the rhythm of speech, and much of the humour rests in the conversations' staccato beat -- in breezy put-downs and tossed-off asides and disgruntled mutterings.

If that sounds supremely sitcomy, well, it is. But Wu and her cast elevate the proceedings.

The message here, as in every quirky ethnic romantic comedy, is 'follow your heart.' But wouldn't it be great if for once the characters cared more about the continuity of antiquated cultural traditions than their own personal happiness?
