Entertainment Dec 05, 2025

Lucy Liu stars in "Rosemead," a new film about a mother facing cancer while supporting her son through schizophrenia.
Inspired by true events, with Liu drawing on her own Chinese-American roots for her performance, the movie dives into the private struggles many immigrant families face.
It premieres in New York on December 5, 2025.

Breaking taboos and starting conversations

Directed by Eric Lin, this is Liu's first dramatic lead role.
"Rosemead" explores why mental health is so hard to talk about in tight-knit communities and highlights the extra pressure on immigrant families.
Liu hopes it sparks more open, honest conversations about everyday challenges that often go unspoken.
