 d by Lee Isaac Chung \n\nLee Isaac Chung has said\, of his loose autobiogra
 phical film\, that he began by sketching out a series of small memories fro
 m his childhood. This is a testament to that experience\, both the bitter a
 nd the sweet\, of growing up in a Korean American immigrant family in 1980s
  America. The film begins with a family of four in a moving truck\, taking 
 themselves from steady but backbreaking work in a California factory to bui
 ld something more for themselves in the Midwest\; Jacob (Steven Yeun) dream
 s of starting a farm on 50 acres of good American dirt in rural Arkansas\, 
 with his reluctant wife Monica (Yeri Han) by his side. However\, it’s their
  two children who are at the center of the story\, older sister Anne (Noel 
 Cho) and young\, adorably chubby-cheeked David (Alan Kim)\, who is the stan
 d-in for writer-director Lee Isaac Chung himself. [Minari] is tender and of
 ten funny\, particularly when the children’s grandmother (Youn Yuh-jung) ar
 rives from her home country to help look after them\, making a splash in yo
 ung David’s life and immediately becoming obsessed by American wrestling an
 d Mountain Dew. \n\nWon Best Supporting Actress Oscar and BAFTA for Youn Yu
 h-jung. Won Best Motion Picture – Foreign Language Golden Globe. Nominated 
 for numerous other Oscars and BAFTAs. 2020 Grand Jury Prize Winner for Dram
 atic Film and 2020 Audience Award Winner for Dramatic Film\, Sundance Film
