Crazy Rich Asians

“It’s hard not to have fun…” — A.O. Scott, New York Times

“It’s simply great fun, a winsome romantic comedy and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.” — Stephanie Zacharek, TIME Magazine

“This adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s 2013 international bestseller is many things: a tour de force of lifestyle pornography, a slick, enjoyable divertissement, a surprisingly trenchant study of class and cultural difference.” — Justin Chang, LA Times

“This was just the sort of love-conquers-all, poor girl-rich boy, feel-good romance I was prepared to hate. Indeed, everything about it is predictable, right up to the you’ve-seen-it-a-million-times ending. But somehow, with its wacky credit sequences, dazzling shots of the Singapore skyline, snappy dialogue and fast pacing, it works. It creates such good cheer that my pre-paid frowns dissolved into smiles as the momentum carried me through the occasional longeurs where the struggling couple earnestly declare eternal love. There’s a lot to look and laugh at here, so even if the term “rom-com” makes your skin crawl, it’s worth, surprisingly, the price of admission. And then there’s a magnificent Michelle Yeoh, joined by Gemma Chan (Mia in Humans), and the irrepressible Awkwafina in supporting roles.” — Peter Biskind
