LUCKY GRANDMA – Review by MaryAnn Johanson

May 19, 2020May 23, 2020 MaryAnn Johanson 0 Comments lucky grandma, motw, Movie of the Week, sasie sealy, tsai chin

Tsai Chin is an absolute hoot as a chain-smoking widow in New York’s Chinatown. After a local fortune teller announces that a certain day will be very auspicious for her, she hops a bus to a casino… the upshot of which is that it turns out that bags of cash will attract the attention of some gangster types once she gets home.

MOVIE OF THE WEEK May 22, 2020: LUCKY GRANDMA

May 17, 2020May 23, 2020 Jennifer Merin 0 Comments angela cheng, asian american films, betsy bozdech, Cate Marquis, jennifer merin, leslie combemale, liz whittemore, loren king, lucky grandma, marina antunes, motw, Movie of the Week, nell minow, Pam Grady, sasie sealy, tsai chin

It’s not often that a sharp-tongued, chain-smoking grandmother is the main character in a movie. Tsai Chin’s gutsy, riveting performance as the acerbic, chain-smoking titular character in Lucky Grandma, Sasie Sealy’s tight script and admirable direction, a stellar ensemble and a strong sense of place make the film a sure winner.

MOVIE OF THE WEEK July 9, 2021: #BlackWidow A fun action flick, but look a little deeper, and you'll see that #CateShortland is telling a story about women's agency and right to choose. https://awfj.org/blog/2021/07/04/movie-of-the-week-july-9-2021-black-widow/
