What critics say influenced Plus One
In particular, we see a realistic portrayal of a mother-daughter relationship, one that is simultaneously antagonistic and loving—not unlike the dynamic found within Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird (2017).
And 2018’s Crazy Rich Asians and Love, Simon pushed — gently and with ingratiating charm — at the genre’s boundaries, expanding our conception of who these stories include, if not what they look, sound and feel like.
Whether it’s through Henry Golding in Crazy Rich Asians (2018), Andrew Koji of Cinemax’s Warrior, or Charles Melton in the upcoming The Sun is Also a Star (2019), mixed-race actors with European or British ancestry are increasingly playing lead Asian roles.
Films like Your Sister’s Sister , Obvious Child, Top Five, and Sleeping With Other People brought nuance and bite to familiar romantic formulas .
