60 Second Verdict: Crazy Rich Asians
8 September 2018
Crazy Rich Asians is a great take on a best-selling book, with lots of insights into what it’s like to try and live between two cultures.
Constance Wu plays Rachel Chu, a hard-working Asian girl who is invited to accompany boyfriend Nick back to Singapore for a friend’s wedding. On arrival she realises that Nick is not simply financially ‘comfortable’, but the heir to Singapore’s wealthiest family. Unfortunately, Nick’s mum (Michelle Yeoh) is not so impressed with what Nick’s brought home.
