Why watch it

Alice Wu's second film, sixteen years after Saving Face, took the Founders Award for Best U.S. Narrative Feature β€” Tribeca's top prize. A Cyrano retelling relocated to a small-town American high school, released worldwide by Netflix: a smart, tender story that begins with ghostwritten love letters.
