Last month, we got a first look at Awkwafina and Sandra Oh in their upcoming comedy Quiz Lady from 20th Century Studios. Today, the studio released the official poster for the film and it is fantastic.
Everything from the retro vibe, to Sandra Oh acting wild while Awkwafina and the adorable dog look desperate, is simply perfect. If you would have told me that Awkwafina and Sandra Oh are starring in a comedy where one sister is outrageous and the other is more responsible, I and most others would have expected the roles to be reversed.
The unexpected roles is one reason why I’m greatly looking forward to this film. Not only are the two stars incredibly funny and talented, but I’m hoping that the film will have more surprises in store for audiences.
Quiz Lady premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9th and on Hulu November 3rd.
