Thought provoking and brimming with charm, match that with an infectious sense of humor and outstanding performances.
Despite the mysteries of the plot, a sitcom-style sense of expectation creeps into Saving Face, which sometimes feels comfortable but mostly serves to spotlight the shortcomings in a script that invents compelling characters but doesn't give them much out of the ordinary to do.
Tender and often extremely funny.
It abjectly collapses into feel-good nonsense.
A convincing and compelling community of characters with a sure comic sense and an at times screwball sensibility.
Everything that happens in the last half-hour betrays the canny, hardheaded perspective of what came before.
The umpteenth variation on second-generation American immigrants bucking the traditions of their first-generation elders.
