Our take

One of the most provocative works about the Asian-American experience in recent years, Justin Chon’s second film is a fiery time capsule of the racial tension that rocked 1990s Los Angeles. Ousting the myth of model minorities, this raw portrayal of multicultural brotherhood speaks from the heart.
