14-year-old film critic Tabitha Yuen explores how TurningRed accurately represents young Asian girls. ❤️
that the idea came from “wanting to make a movie for that 13-year-old Domee who was struggling with her body and her emotions and fighting with her mom every day and wanting to understand what was going on at that time, but in a fun and unique and magical way.”
As a Chinese American, I felt a strong connection to one specific scene in the movie: when Mei looked to her parents for approval on her bao wrapping skills. Wrapping baos and dumplings are something #VeryAsian I do with my own mother. I love seeing Hollywood movies capture how central food is to many Asian American cultures.
Furthermore, Mei’s multicultural school mirrors my own classmates in everyday life. Mei’s BFFs Priya and Abby remind me of my own South Asian American and Korean American friends. I even saw classmates that I rarely see on screen, like characters wearing hijabs and characters with diabetes. Interacting with people of different backgrounds is what real life is like, and this film celebrates it in a refreshing way.
But the final straw is when Ming takes Mei to confront her crush, mortifying Mei to the point of sparking her red panda transformation. Even though my own mom has high expectations for me, she isn’t overbearing or controlling like Ming. While there may be controlling mothers in some Asian families, it’s important to note that not all Asian mothers are tiger moms.
