POSITIVES…

  • Chasing the American Dream. What's not to relate? 

  • This story of this blue-collar family, their trials and tribulations, hits on so many emotional levels. 

  • It was really easy to get invested with the family, and it's all thanks to the talented acting by Steven Yeun, Han Ye-ri, Alan Kim, Noel Kate Cho, and Youn Yuh-jung.

  • Alan Kim as David and Youn Yuh-jung as Grandma are amazing as the scene stealers in this film. 

  • There are some dramatically devastating and heartbreaking scenes. 

  • It's not like this movie is just a big downer though, as there is some good levity in the narrative too. 

  • Fascinating seeing how the narrative handles the culture shocks and culture clashes. 

  • Offers life lessons that everybody could learn. 

  • Appreciated how the movie handled the interactions between this Asian Family and the predominantly white American people they encountered in Arkansas. 

  • "If the tornado hits, this house will fly away." 

  • Mountain Dew.

NEGATIVES…

  • It's not going to be the fastest moving or most exciting film for some people. 

  • Some plot conveniences.

  • Not for those who don't like reading subtitles.
