\"\"<\/a>Selected to screen at 2024\u00a0CAAMFest, Lina Suh constructs what is easily one of the best films of the year. \u201cMeeting You, Meeting Me\u201d is a wonderful chamber piece about two kindred spirits that meet under the most unlikely circumstances. So much of \u201cMeeting You, Meeting Me\u201d is based on whether or not the pair of stars Annika Foster and Sam Yim can spark any kind of chemistry, and lo and behold they have it. \u201cMeeting You , Meeting Me\u201d felt very much in the tradition of masterpieces like \u201cBefore Sunset\u201d where circumstances put two people together who didn\u2019t know they needed \u00a0they each other.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Two women from very different walks of life \u2013 Simone, a Korean American divorce attorney who is very rooted in her immigrant family’s upbringing, and Sav, a Californian college dropout searching for herself after being canceled online — both desperately need a friend in this moment, when they cross paths by chance and form an unlikely friendship.<\/p>\n

Stars Kim and Foster are marvelous in their respective roles portraying two women at the beginning of new chapters in their lives anxiously trying to look for a way out of taking this new direction. Sav appears at Simone\u2019s door to buy her old traveling back pack and this sparks a recollection of unfulfilled ambitions and regrets that turn them in to instant kindred spirits. A majority of \u201cMeeting You, Meeting Me\u201d is set in one place where Sav\u2019s quirkier efforts to ensure she stay true to her plans to travel, allow Simone to somewhat garner interest and find a window to bond.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Along their journey of eating and drinking, a lot of their conversation lingers on to discussions of past relationships, and conflicts with their family that have never been resolved. Although Sav and Simone would consider themselves different people, they begin to realize that they fill a role in each other\u2019s lives that just might help them cope with their past. \u201cMeeting You, Meeting Me\u201d is very much about that friend that appears at just the right time. Although Sav may or may be Simone\u2019s friend for only a season, she\u2019s also probably there for a reason, too. Lina Suh brings the best out of both of her stars, composing a compelling and often engaging drama with occasional shades of comedy here and there.<\/p>\n

Enough can\u2019t be said about Annika Foster and Sam Yim, both of whom truly lend the film a heart and soul that is just riveting. \u201cMeeting You, Meeting Me\u201d is a thoughtful meditation on growing up, and taking on new challenges all the while learning to let go. It\u2019s a stellar indie drama that I hope garners bigger acclaim during its festival run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
