Hulu’s new comedy starring Awkwafina and Sandra Oh has people talking about its uproarious humor, but the film is also resonating for a deeper reason. “Quiz Lady,” released on Friday, wields comedy to illustrate complicated, often uncomfortable immigrant family dynamics, film experts say.
And, Yuen noted, the characters’ wildly contrasting personalities are representative reactions to those tensions, with Anne withdrawing from the world, and Jenny seeking adventure and escape. “At the center of it all is a story of children of immigrants who have had to learn to survive without the careful care or attention of immigrant parents. Which is actually probably more the reality than the tiger parents,” Yuen said.
