Minari

We have SOLD OUT of our allotment of free tickets for this program!

A tender and sweeping story about what roots us, Minari follows a Korean-American family that moves to an 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. “For all the struggle that takes place in this movie, it is its quiet grace that you most remember. Minari shares its secrets with a whisper, and as it unfolds, you find yourself leaning into it, enraptured.” (LA Times) 

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize & the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. Golden Globe winner for Best Foreign Language Film and SAG (Screen Actors’ Guild) Award for Outstanding Performance in a Supporting Role (Yuh-Jung Youn), the film is nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture.
