Ambientata nella Chinatown di New York, una nonna cinese fumatrice accanita punta tutto al casinò, finendo dalla parte sbagliata della fortuna e nel mezzo di una guerra tra bande.
“Lucky Grandma” puts an older Asian woman center stage without infantilizing her or rendering her pitiful.
Chin is plainly the film’s greatest asset, a terrific actor with great comic timing and a tendency to underplay her character’s reactions, which helps to offset the relatively broad performances that surround her.
“Lucky Grandma” is a wickedly entertaining dark comedy, steeped in the colors and characters of New York City’s Chinatown.
