“White Frog”

A New Film from Quentin Lee

Amos Lassen

One of the films on the festival circuit is getting great reviews and has people talking. Quentin Lee’s fifth feature film, “White Frog” is a look at an Asian family in which Chaz (Harry Shum Jr.), the oldest son is secretly gay. When he is killed in a bicycle accident, his family (B.D. Wong, Joan Chen and Booboo Stewart)) have to re-evaluate everything they ever knew and everything they thought they knew about Chaz (including the idea that he was gay). It is a coming-of-age movie about a young Asian, something we rarely see.
