Critics Consensus

With a terrific cast and a surfeit of visual razzle dazzle, Crazy Rich Asians takes a satisfying step forward for screen representation while deftly drawing inspiration from the classic -- and still effective -- rom-com formula.

Li Sian Goh

Bitch Media

Crazy Rich Asians represents people and places with so little thought that it upholds a painful, brutal hegemony that's painfully apparent to people who live in Southeast Asia, where the film is actually set.

Film Comment Magazine

A binge-able series might have been a better way to go, since the script squeezes a sprawling supporting cast into boisterous caricatures and transforms an intricate flow chart of status among Singapore's superrich into a flood of affectations.

Irish Times

Aside from these important issues of representation and diversity, Crazy Rich Asians marks a welcome return for the funny, giddy, likeable, glamorous Hollywood romcom.

Rated: 3/5

Cinema Elite

["Crazy Rich Asians"] balances sharp cultural commentary and astonishingly fresh direction with the kind of classic, escapist tone that a lot of filmmakers seem to have forgotten how to use in their recent stabs at romance.

Rated: 4/5

Wu’s magnetic performance pulls you toward Rachel’s side; you want her to stand up for herself, you want her to choose what’s best for her, even if it’s not the easy thing, which is what truly makes this movie unforgettable.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Terrible show. Horrendous acting and script was even worse. Obvious plot, even more obvious and corny punch lines. Horrendous waste of time.

JC R

Crazy Rich Asians is a visually polished but deeply flawed film that glorifies wealth, purity, and cultural elitism under the guise of progress. It treats American-born Chinese as inferior, romanticizes inherited power, and slips into xenophobia, as in the scene where Awkwafina’s character screams at Sikh guards in turbans. The film is not satire. It is a celebration of exclusion, wrapped in glamor. If the characters were white aristocrats rejecting a mixed outsider for lacking “pure” heritage, the film would be condemned. So why is this different? Some argue it is about representation. But true representation shows real people and real problems. Films like The Farewell or Parasite do that. What Crazy Rich Asians offers is not empowerment. It is imitation of the same systems that once excluded others, now celebrated simply because the faces have changed.
