The film stars John Cho and Jason Tobin.
Film critic Roger Ebert wrote about YELLOW on November 19, 1997, in his article HAWAII FEST HONORS FILMS OF PACIFIC RIM for the Chicago- Sun Times.
" A different kind of culture shock was explored in" Yellow," an American film by Chris Chan Lee, about the son of a strict Korean- American grocery owner in Los Angeles.
The father enforces his standards so rigidly that he drives customers away.
He alienates his son( Michael Daeho Chung), who during a long night with his Gen X Korean- American friends, deals with the consequences when a great deal of money is stolen from the store.
The film is fascinating in the way it manages to be both about Korean- American society and about young Gen Xers who could be of any race."
In the Los Angeles Times, Kevin Thomas( film critic) reviewed the film for its theatrical release in 1998, in his article ‘ Yellow ’ Looks at Generation, Cultural Gap Within Families.
" As ambitious and rewarding as it is, Chris Chan Lee ’s “ Yellow ” has a significance beyond itself:
It ’s the first major Korean American film to get a feature release.
It ’s also a classic coming- of- age story, set during one long night just before eight high school friends are to graduate.
You ’re tempted to describe the picture as “ Korean American Graffiti, ” but along with its humor it has an underlying disturbing seriousness."
The film critic added," Through the specificity of this Korean American experience you can easily feel a sense of universality in Sin ’s predicament.
As a filmmaker Lee is at a point where he ’s stronger at dialogue than pacing.
But there ’s no doubt “ Yellow ” marks the debut of a most promising talent who combines youthful zest and energy with a mature perspective that allows him to extend compassion to both sides of the generation gap."
