It's no secret that there is a lack

It's no secret that there is a lack of Asian-American representation in LGBT-related films, so watching Front Cover felt like a breath of fresh air. The story is predictable, and many of the film's comedic beats fall flat, but watching Ryan and Ning's relationship grow is heartwarming and insightful. I like that the film makes an effort to comment on the desexualization of Asian-American men in our media, as well as the microaggressions Asian-American men face in the queer dating scene. The film finds its voice when it is focusing on the relationship between these two men, following them around the city as they talk about family, fashion, sexuality, culture, and more. It stumbles in its story, which feels cliche and awkward at points, but altogether, it succeeds because of the strength of its script and the themes that it dares to explore. Hopefully we'll see more films exploring queer, Asian-American folks in the future.

Was impressed by the compelling dramatic storyline. I

Was impressed by the compelling dramatic storyline. I so wanted Ryan and Ning to finish together. Really sad this didn't happen. The picture is beautiful though!
