The movie – which was launched in the UK just last summer – has already raked in over $65m at the global Box Office, becoming one of the most successful releases of the last 12 months.

Written and directed by the duo of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the film begins with main character Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh) as she battles with the IRS whilst filing taxes from her laundry business.
