[Available May 3 on various digital platforms.] A pregnancy test connects three vignettes in Ximan Li's engaging, realistic, well-acted, down-to-earth, morose, 102-minute, 2019 film in which an influential New York food critic (Amy Chang), whose traditional, manipulative mother (Pei-Pei Cheng) is desperate for her to marry and have a family, develops bulimia after a breakup with a boyfriend and a smitten colleague (Jae Shin) comes to her rescue to help her overcome her eating disorder; an immigrant Chinese actress (Yi Liu), who is in an unhappy marriage to a wealthy American businessman (Erik Lochtefeld), has an illicit affair with a talented Asian writer David (Ludi Lin); and a Chinese restaurant employee (Celia Au), who works as an escort to help pay medical bills for her father (Fenton Li), falls in love with a food truck entrepreneur (Roger Yeh) while her controlling stepmother (Yan Xi) and mean-spirited stepbrother (Nic Tom) beg her for money to pay off a Visa debt.
