adoptee with a past must figure things out, 11 May 2009
7/10
Author: ksf-2 from southwest US

"Tie a Yellow Ribbon" tells the story of the new generation of Asians in America (...so there will be pain...). Part of the ITVS production series, it was shown on PBS May 2009, after appearing in many film festivals and winning several awards. It tells the story of Jenny and her 20-something year old friends, living in the city, and dealing with their families and their own pasts. Without going into specifics, some of the subject matter made me a little un-comfortable, but it is all well done by the actors. This was the first or second project for most of the cast, but they all did a fine, professional job. Written and directed by Joy Dietrich, this appears to be her second project, the first being the auto-biographical "Surplus". While it's quite entertaining, the script for "Ribbon" could use a little brush-up. Kim Jiang plays the lead, an adopted girl from Korea, who must figure out who and what she wants. Every now and then, we see flashes of her past or whats going through her mind (?) and it got a little more artsy with the special effects than it needed to be. Does not seem to be avail on DVD at this time.
