The thing that I love about her documentary is it features some individuals who are so captivating ... going so far to even break its own subjective sub-genre.

Reviews for The Grace Lee Project
1 - 20 (sorted by date)
A Korean-American director takes dead-on, sometimes satirical, sometimes moving aim at stereotypes of Asian women.

Whether or not you knew a Grace Lee before, you'll never be able to think of Asian females as a type again after getting to know the ensemble comprising this enlightening and enriching bio-pic.
02/09/07
or what it's worth, The Grace Lee Project is an easy trip at just over an hour and should prove a popular ticket on the festival circuit

There are flashes here of a more involving movie, but, as if living up to the cliches associated with her name, filmmaker Lee is content to sit quietly and let others talk.
05/19/06
Lightweight but watchable.
05/17/06
A clever idea, whose execution often transcends mere cleverness...
03/31/06
Niftily shot and edited, The Grace Lee Project isn’t just a witty unpacking of stereotype. It’s also a welcome freshening of the old documentary saw that there’s no such thing as an ordinary person.
03/30/06
...breezy, fast-paced...
01/21/06
In the end, it's essentially Lee's journey of self-discovery, but one that enables all of us to see each other in a slightly different way, regardless of our names.
01/21/06
This interesting and humorous ride brings a wild variety of Grace Lees, to Grace’s delight and our amusement.
01/21/06
Although the filmmaker provides some welcome humor in her often self-deprecating narration, she also displays a self-indulgence that gives her effort the distinct air of a vanity project.

Top CriticEager to find out more about these like-named folks, she launched a highly unscientific investigation. Luckily for us, she recorded everything in the fun documentary The Grace Lee Project.
12/16/05
Top CriticThough self-centered by its very nature, Grace Lee's chronicle of other women who share her name turns out to be a funny and insightful exploration into identity issues we all can recognize.
12/16/05
Top CriticThe Grace Lee Project by any other name would still be as entertaining.
12/14/05
In her small, witty autobiographical documentary, a Korean-American filmmaker named Grace Lee explores the personal and social ramifications of a name she finds oppressive.
12/14/05
Top CriticA breezy first-person video essay that goes in search of the average Asian American woman, all the while wondering if there is in fact such a thing.
12/13/05
Top CriticTrivial-sounding hook manages to float a funny but complex meditation on identity, ethnicity and cultural expectations that should be as accessible to teens as adults.
11/18/05
Top CriticA clever look at the weight of cultural expectations and the crisis of identity, told with poignant wit.
11/18/05
Top CriticA hilarious and easily accessible documentary ... learning about American subcultures has rarely been this much fun or as informative.
