Synopsis:

Wil is a Surgical resident doctor living a hectic life and trying to reconcile the demands of her traditional Chinese family and her modern lifestyle.

Her family's traditional values demand that she 'find a nice Chinese boy and settle down'

Vivian, the daughter of Wil's boss, has a career in performing arts and is more worldly in her ways.

After meeting at, of all places, a vending machine, a relationship develops between  the two Chinese-American ladies.

Will their relationship survive the challenges of their respective and 'overtly respectable families'. Or will they choose the easier path and conform?

Review:
The title saving face comes from the Chinese concept of face 'ie society's perception of a person's prestige' Emphasis on perception

Saving face is a really enjoyable, light hearted look at coming out in a culture that has yet to embrace homosexuality.

Michelle Krusiec and Lynn Chen give a sometimes stilted but overall believable performance.

The bonus is Joan Chen [From Wild side]. This lady may not be a lesbian but she continues to be supportive. As Wil's mother, Joan Chen is almost unrecognizable in her role as a traditional Chinese mum who by the way speaks no English and has a penchant to get herself into tricky situations.

Saving face is said to be loosely based on the writer/director's [Alice Wu] coming out story.

Lots of laughs and happy moments in this movie

Love scene was again quite realistic
