Everything Everywhere's Stephanie Hsu leads a daring comedic ensemble that brings the laughs while going deep on the messiness of identity
Follows four Asian-American friends as they bond and discover the truth of what it means to know and love who you are, while they travel through Asia in search of one of their birth mothers.It certainly doesn’t hurt that the lead performers have tremendous chemistry, whether it’s Lolo and Kat vying for status as Audrey’s best friend, Deadeye’s eagerness to make a genuine human connection with Audrey, or the unspoken tensions between Audrey’s careerism and Lolo’s coasting through life.
Reminiscent of the journey portrayed in 2022’s superb, Audrey’s arc of self-discovery leads to questions about what it means to be the Chinese daughter of white parents, whether that upbringing makes her any less Chinese, and what it means to have your understanding of your life story suddenly upended.
