About
Bedford Park is a romantic drama about 36-year-old Korean-American Audrey Park, bound by her traditionalist mother and alcoholic father, who after an accident meets Eli, a gruff adopted Korean ex-wrestler, the two lost souls finding they can finally breathe in each other's company. It is Stephanie Ahn's feature-length expansion of her short film Accident (2023), using romance to explore cultural clash and intergenerational trauma in the Korean diaspora, and it won the US Dramatic Special Jury Award for Debut Feature at Sundance Film Festival.

Critics
6.5Good
Critics praise the delicate handling of immigrant family expectations, believable performances, and an intimate, unvarnished look at healing. They fault a dry, slow first half, underdeveloped subplots, and a slightly contrived setup.
