Minari, which stars Yuh-jung Youn, who captured Best Actress in a Supporting Role honors at the 93rd Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday evening, is a tender and sweeping story about what roots us. The film follows a Korean-American family that moves to an Arkansas farm in search of their own American Dream. The family home changes completely with the arrival of their sly, foul-mouthed, but incredibly loving grandmother. Amidst that instability and challenges of this new life in the rugged Ozarks, Minari shows the undeniable resilience of family and what really makes a home. The A24 film is written and directed by Lee Isaac Chung, and the cast also includes Steven Yeun, Yeri Han, Alan Kim, Noel Kate Cho, Scott Haze, and Will Patton.
