Not completely crazy


Crazy Rich Asians (2018)

Directed by Jon M. Chu this film based on the novel of the same name stars Constance Wu, Henry Golding and Michelle Yeoh. A Chinese-American economics professor from a poor background finds out her boyfriend is super rich when she travels to Singapore with him for a family wedding.

Stories about weddings across social classes are nothing new but setting this one in Singapore does provide something a little different. There is plenty to enjoy here seeing the familiar but with slightly different cultural pressures applied to it. Not the greatest film by any means but there is a little depth to what could otherwise be a fairly bland film.

3/5
