A tender and sweeping story about what roots us, Minari follows a Korean-American family that moves to an Arkansas farm in search of their own American Dream. The family home changes completely with the arrival of their sly, foul-mouthed, but incredibly loving grandmother. Amidst the instability and challenges of this new life in the rugged Ozarks, Minari shows the undeniable resilience of family and what really makes a home. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize and U.S. Dramatic Audience Award of the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.
“Intimate, poignant, improbably funny and steadfastly stirring.” — Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
