As a senior in high school, Joan Huang idolizes winning Prom Queen as the embodiment of popularity, beauty and the ultimate form of acceptance into American life. In her relentless pursuit for the crown, she undergoes an experimental racial transformation to become White and win Prom Queen. However, what she thought was a dream come true soon reveals itself to be an emotional and physical nightmare. "Slanted" offers a searing and unapologetically satirical view on race and the uncomfortable journey of learning to love yourself and your culture.

Kate Erbland indieWire While Wang often swings too wide, the bigger picture is a compelling one, rich with pointed questions and damning answers. Talk about an American nightmare. Rated: B- Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots A twisted, unsettling, cautionary tale of self-acceptance and the cost of trying to be someone else. Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Aaron Peterson The Hollywood Outsider It’s The Substance of the cultural divide. It left me pontificating on its meaning and the resonance of its message. In a world obsessed with polarizing debate, what is often missing is nuanced discussion. Slanted is one helluva conversation piece. Rated: 8/10 Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
