Director: Juwan Chung. Review Adam Wing. With his second feature Juwan Chung (Cake) paints a tragic tale of Asian youths caught up in South East Los Angeles gang life during the mid 80’s and early 90’s. Critics have compared the film to Boyz N The Hood, high praise indeed, and the film seems to have justified that tag by picking up numerous awards including New Director/New Visions Award at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival. David Huynh stars as the Baby of the title but don’t worry, identical in name alone, if this particular Baby gets put in the corner he’ll probably come out blasting. You won’t want to be calling him Frances either.
