A brilliant film I had the pleasure of discovering at this year’s Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, No Crying at the Dinner Table by Carol Nguyen is a spare and meditative portrait of her family. Delicate and unflinchingly honest, Travelling Distribution says it best: “…an emotionally complex and meticulously composed portrait of intergenerational trauma, grief, and secrets in this cathartic documentary about things left unsaid.”
