Song was a theatre writer and this is her debut, inspired partly by her own life - her family emigrated from South Korea to Canada. It has a feel of Lost in Translation to me. Greta Lee and Teo Yoo were childhood sweethearts who reunite online twelve years later, then reunite in person another ten years later, by which time Lee has married John Magaro and they live in the East Village (how they can afford this I don't know). It's very sweet and ultimately moving.
The music by Christopher Bear and Daniel Rossen is an asset. Photographed by Shabier Kirchner (Small Axe), edited by Keith Fraase.
