A tender and sweeping story about what roots people that follows a Korean-American family that moves to a tiny Arkansas farm in search of their own American Dream. The family home changes completely with the arrival of their sly, foul-mouthed, but incredibly loving grandmother. Amidst the instability and challenges of this new life in the rugged Ozarks, this film shows the undeniable resilience of family and what really makes a home. "Minari works quietly and methodically, embracing its lush rural setting with striking glimpses of its characters, alone against vast and empty landscapes."--Entertainment Weekly "It's a beautiful example of cinema à clef, done with little blustery sentimentality and a surfeit of grace notes."--Rolling Stone "...in its entirety feels like a balm right now, a gentle, truthful and tender story of family filled with kind people trying to love one another the best they can."--Los Angeles Times "Chung transforms the specificity of his upbringing into something warm, tender and universal."--Variety
