“To see an American audience identify with the Hyphen American experience—my experience and that of Rachel’s—felt rewarding on an entirely different level. I was elated to identify with the struggle of juggling parents’ approval with feelings for a partner. I may not share the financial or cultural background of the characters, but I felt invited to celebrate in the emotions on-screen and those around me.” ~ Monica Castillo, RogerEbert.com
