Crazy Rich Asians (2018) is crazy delightful. #Review
“Crazy Rich Asians” may open with some awful British racism, but it’s an effective shorthand way of introducing fearsome matriarch Eleanor Young (Michelle Yeo) and putting us firmly in the Young family’s corner. And it’s a necessary step too because we’re about to embark on a visually lavish exploration of the trials and tribulations of the lifestyles of the obscenely rich and wantonly famous, Singapore-style...

The film feels a little disjointed and slow, but if you can get into it, it is a beautiful exploration of grief, love and change.

This film would help its titular term become a phenomenon, as well as put Austin, Texas, on the cultural map."
