After almost a week at Sundance, I was finally able to sneak away from all the red carpets, happy hours, mixers, and parties and see an actual movie at Sundance! Had I known that the Library theater was so close to our condo, I would have snuck away sooner!

What I saw was Never Forever, directed by Gina Kim, and starring Vera Farmiga, Jung-Woo Ha, David McInnis, and Hwa-Si Lee.

Never Forever was a really good movie. I do think that the acting was not on the same level across the board, but in the end a really enticing story and even better Q&A after the showing.

The movie starts with Sophie, a pampered Caucasian housewife, married to an Asian American man. As they encounter difficulties in their lives, she places all her hopes on conceiving a child to make them happy, and even resorts to desperate measures by undergoing a desperate arrangement with another Asian American man. There are so many issues brought up with this movie! The foremost in my mind has to do with the fact that there are two Asian American men in this movie, and they're portrayed as strong and virile. That is so awesome to see! It's interesting to see what people will do for love. It's interesting to analyze Sophie's character, from her actions to her outfits. And the ending just brings up a couple different possibilities. There's a lot to think about with this movie, and even more with the awesome Q&A! Make sure to check it out if you get the chance!
