The relationship between the characters is what makes this film stand out, and it’s just all-around fun.
"Beef" is a new dark comedy with a near entire Asian-American cast

As this critic continues to look back at some of this Summer's films I have taken in, I would be remiss if I didn't mention one of the most overall unsettling trends in Hollywood over the last several years.....sequels, reboots, and remakes.
