[Played Feb. 11 as part of AARP's Movies for Grownups, opened Feb. 12 in theaters, and available on various VOD platforms.] When a hardworking, idealistic, proud Korean immigrant (Steven Yeun) moves his reluctant wife (Han Ye-ri) and their two children (Alan Kim and Noel Kate Cho) from California to the Ozarks in Arkansas during the 1980s to fulfill his American dream of becoming a farmer with the help of an eccentric, evangelical Christian (Will Patton) in Lee Isaac Chung's compelling, touching, heartwarming, well-written, critically acclaimed, poignant, superbly acted, 115-minute autobiographical film, he tries to stop bickering with his discontented, unhappy wife whose elderly, card-playing, foul-mouthed, minari-seed-planting mother (Youn Yuh-jung) just arrived from Korea while struggling to be successful in his new venture and making his wife proud of him.
