My Big Kazakh Family

My Big Kazakh Family (2021) is a Kazakh romantic comedy directed by Alen Niyazbekov, available to watch online on iFILM. Sixty-year-old Manarbek raised four children and has spent years accepting each of their unconventional choices — a son who married an Armenian, daughters paired with a Korean and a Russian.

His last card is youngest daughter Bulbul, back from university in Europe. She arrives with a fiancé. Manarbek could not have guessed who that fiancé would be. The film keeps the culture-clash warm rather than mean, which is what makes the jokes actually land. Stream My Big Kazakh Family online on iFILM.
