i didn't expect much at first because i've seen a couple of les comedy movies and most of them are the same (predictable/plotless). this one is exceptional with a great cast and interesting storyline. i agree that unless you have subtitles or know chinese it's hard to understand the true story. though the movie was so great that i watched it over and over again and each time having a better understanding of the movie. overall i recommend it.

We did not know what to expect when we started watching this movie. The character development was done perfectly to set up the ending! We thought the acting was great giving the characters a sense of realism. The story line was believable and the comedy funny. All in all we had a enjoyable time watching "Saving Face"

This is a must see movie. The images, acting, script - all of it is phenomenol. It's nice to finally see good looking Asian American actors play well written non-stereotypical roles well!

An excellent directorial debut - Alice Wu is one to watch. I second James V.'s review here - good performances, good writing, great characters. It's nice to see a romantic comedy with a new twist, and this has several. Definitely worth watching.

An Asian family living in NYC some breaking traditions and some trying to uphold them. Mostly revolves around a Mother and her daughter (and mom has a secret and has shamed her father - and daughter has a secret and shames her mother) All that being said, they learn from one another. This was a cute romantic / situation comedy - American made, but you need the subtitles for the Chinese spoken between family members. This little independent film was a directorial debut for Alice Wu (who also scripted it) and both interesting & comical.
