Green-card marriage movie

**Excerpt:**
The remake of *The Wedding Banquet*, directed by Andrew Ahn, is a hilarious and heartfelt queer rom-com that shines at BFI Flare 2025. Set in Seattle, the film follows two queer couples—Lily Gladstone and Kelly Marie Tran as Lee and Angela, and Bowen Yang and Han Gi-Chan as Chris and Min—navigating love, family, and identity. When Min and Angela agree to a green-card marriage to solve their respective problems, chaos ensues as Min’s grandmother, played by the legendary Youn Yuh-jung, arrives to meet Angela and plan the wedding. Balancing laugh-out-loud moments with emotional depth, the film explores themes of cultural traditions, queer identity, and the joy of chosen relationships. With a star-studded cast and sharp writing, *The Wedding Banquet* is a modern classic in the making, set to release in U.S. cinemas on April 18, 2025.
