Movie ReviewsExcellent Frank Chin Play D. Delvecchio | 09/20/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a dynamic, excellently acted filmed version of one of Frank Chin's greatest plays. The explosive interaction of a family of Chinese-Americans set against the explosive background of Chinese New Year celebrations makes for great drama. The actors really rise to the occasion, particularly George Takei, whose performance is a tense, volatile bundle of energy - always threatening to go over the edge- but with a reserved and collective melancholy that is truly compelling. The tension between the good Chinese-American who keeps quiet, plays the fool, and knows his place and the revolutionary spirit of the young is etched in Takei's face. He is a walking contradiction, and filled with turmoil. This inner struggle culminates in a devastating climax. Takei's performance is like watching a nerve being shredded and is very powerful. It helps raise this play (which gives voice to feelings held quiet for too long) above the ordinary."
