Already reading bad takes comparing ROSEMEAD to other AA films, e.g, it "borrows elements" of Chinese mothers fr Didi & EEAAO. 😳 Asian Americans said this! This is like saying 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' borrowed elements fr white moms of Lady Bird & Serial Mom. Decolonize your minds, my brothas!

‘Rosemead’ Review: Lucy Liu Plays a Desperate Mother in a Harrowing Portrait of the Asian American Mental Health Crisis
‘Rosemead’ Review: Lucy Liu Plays a Desperate Mother in a Harrowing Portrait of the Asian American Mental Health Crisis
In Rosemead, Eric Lin crafts a modest and heartbreaking story of domestic isolation and mental health in the Asian American community. The film, which premieres at Tribeca, stars Lucy Liu as Irene, an intrepid Chinese mother battling a terminal illness while navigating the painful realities of her son’s worsening schizophrenia. Joe (a fine Lawrence Shou) was once a star student and celebrated swimmer at Rosemead High School, but his father’s death triggered the young man’s latent psychological problems and he’s been struggling ever since.

Our publicist drafted this point: “The Asian American experience is not often depicted in feature films, but ROSEMEAD is even more of an exception since its lead creative team—wri, dir, lead prod, lead actor—is comprised entirely of AAs.” Could only find 2 films w/signif releases that ✅ this box 😮
