One Way That Crazy Rich Asians Is a Step Backward
Having not seen the movie myself I’m not really qualified to give my own thoughts on how the movie handles the things this article brings up. I think it’s interesting though that in the response to the film I’ve heard a lot of extreme praise and extreme criticism, from people who think it’s an important step in diversifying American cinema, and from people who think it missteps more often than not. For my own part I believe it’s entirely possible that it’s both: it can be a victory for inclusivity while not being on its own the most perfect execution of its ideals.
