Saving Face is a 2004 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Alice Wu, in her feature-length debut.[2] The film focuses on Wilhelmina, a young Chinese American surgeon; her unwed, pregnant mother; and her dancer girlfriend. It was the first Hollywood movie that centered on Chinese Americans since The Joy Luck Club (1993).[3]
The name itself is a reference to the pan-East Asian social concept of face.
