Lee Isaac Chung's drama Minari is one of the year's most anticipated films ever since it won the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at Sundance earlier this year. The double win is a prestigious honour only a handful of the following films have achieved - Ryan Coogler’s Fruitvale Station, Damian Chazelle’s Whiplash, and Lee Daniels’ Precious.
Minari's official synopsis from A24 reads: “A tender and sweeping story about what roots us, ‘Minari’ follows a Korean-American family that moves to a tiny 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 the instability and challenges of this new life in the rugged Ozarks, ‘Minari’ shows the undeniable resilience of family and what really makes a home.”

Minari stars Walking Dead breakout Steven Yeun in his next big film role following rave reviews for his work in 2018's Burning, which won him Best Supporting Actor honors from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. The cast also features Han Ye-ri, Youn Yuh-jung, Will Patton, Alan Kim, and Noel Kate Cho.
The film remains undated by A24 but the studio has confirmed it will open before the end of February 2021 and thus be eligible for the 2021 Oscars.
