Review by brat pitt ★★★½ 20

Watching rom-coms as a lovesick Korean-American teen, I internalized a gnawing fear that no one could fall for me because I didn’t look like those blonde, wide-eyed women leads. If Crazy Rich Asians had existed, perhaps I would have recognized my black hair as ebony rather than coal, my almond-shaped eyes as marquise-cut gemstones rather than bitter pills.

The above is a thing I wrote for a recent Bustle piece about what this film means to me. The below is an expansion of this idea.

I spent over 20 years of my life hiding the Korean half of me, emphasizing my Italian half instead. In middle school, I checked “white” on forms and insisted that my hair was brown not…
Review by davidehrlich ★★★½ 10

the last three scenes in this movie make for as satisfying an ending as i've ever seen in a romantic comedy, thanks to some very clever (and concise) writing and the inarguable fact that Michelle Yeoh is an ab-so-lute LEGEND in her own time.
Review by Sarah ★★★★ 3

I'm editing my initial review, because I honestly wrote a lazy joke here as a placeholder and I don't like that it's become my most popular review on this site. I don't want to write a joke here; this film is monumentally good. all I'll say is this: CONSTANCE WU DESERVES THIS!!! and PLEASE watch "Fresh Off the Boat"!

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

When Astrid told her scumbag husband "it's not my job to make you feel like a man. I can't make you something you will never be." I FELT THAT

Review by Demi Adejuyigbe ★★½ 24

i legitimately love how many things in this movie were so unapologetically Asian (and for Asian people) that they did not care to take time and explain them for general (read: white, american) audiences.

the acting is rote, the comedy doesn’t land for me, the characters’ actions and conflicts are all handled so strangely, and i do not think jon m. chu is a very good director– but if only for the wedding scene, i hope the production designer for this movie gets the courtesy Oscar nom that is usually reserved for some boring ass period piece where all the dresses have seventy angles

Review by Shubhi Rofiddinsa ★★★★

So this is actually the first ever Hollywood movie, which more than 90% of its cast are either Asian or Asian-American (or "Britian", which is British-Asian, Gemma Chan and Sonoya Mizuno both are Brits) or Asians who immigrated to the USA, and it's surprisingly good.

Not going to write the synopsis or anything since many of you may have watched it way-way back, tho' #teamlaterepresents

Few talking points here:

1. Choosing Singapore as the representative of a rich Asian country is a good start. It has everything Asian countries represent, from crazy suburban areas filled with small flats and so on, to crazy apartments, condos, hotels etc. Although the movie doesn't shoot that much of scenes where poverty is shown,…
Review by William Stewart ★★★½

A fun and well paced rom-com that offers a completely unique story - one that is rare to see on the big screen. Crazy Rich Asians works on a fundamental level as a romance and a comedy. There are moments of real tenderness and incredibly touching scenes, especially towards the end. It is also funny enough to stay fresh and exciting, with wildcards like Awkwafina and Ken Jeong. Yeoh is fantastic as the menacing mother in law, and there aren’t any glaring weakness in the rest of the cast.

What makes this film great, though, is its perspective. This is not just a film with Asians and Asian-Americans, but about Asians. It explores culture and the immigrant experience. One of…

Review by Daniela Rial ★★★★

Alguna vez tengo que jugar mi carta de ex azafata y lo voy a hacer diciendo que recordé los días que pasé en Singapur con mucho cariño. Es una ciudad tan maravillosa como se la ve en esta película. Me llevé una más que grata sorpresa al verla.
Review by James_Sawyer ★★½

Disappointing. Expecting it to bring something else to this type of feel good movie but was far too predictable

Review by J.T.

While the casting may be groundbreaking, the story itself is not. It goes through a lot of similar motions to other romcoms with not that many surprises. However, it does throw in just enough of them, as well as handling the familiar stuff very well, that I managed to still be generally interested in what was happening from start to finish. It looks great, it's acted great (Constance Wu was amazing), and its story has just enough to it for all its familiarity to pull it through. Not a great movie, but a good enough one that's worth checking out.
Review by sucessora da lynne ramsay. ★★★

tenho que admitir que a cena do casamento é simplesmente uma das coisas mais puras que já vi no cinema.
