After criticizing 'Crazy Rich Asians,' new film 'Shortcomings' explores identity and relationships through a multilayered Asian American protagonist

The film "Shortcomings," directed by Randall Park, follows Ben, an immature Asian American man struggling with identity and relationships.
"Shortcomings" premiered at Sundance Film Festival and stars Justin H. Min, Sherry Cola, and Ally Maki.
The film debates representation in media and explores internalized racism within the Asian American community.
"Shortcomings" draws comparisons to Gen X movies like "High Fidelity" in its style and themes.
Reviews praise the performances but critique the episodic structure and lack of character growth.
