‘Crying In H Mart’ Film Adaptation “On Pause,” Michelle Zauner Says


The film adaptation of Michelle Zauner's best-selling memoir Crying in H Mart, first announced as in development in 2023, is currently on hold.

The beloved memoir — which spent 60 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and has been immensely successful with a 17th issue reprinting in Korea — follows Zauner’s coming-of-age story as a daughter to a Korean mother and Jewish American father, who returns to her small Oregonian town to care for her mom amid her cancer diagnosis. Told through the lenses of Korean cuisine and the power of music, the book traces the oftentimes tumultuous relationship between strict mother and free-spirited daughter. Sharpe, who has directed a number of projects, including the Benedict Cumberbatch-starring period drama The Electrical Life Of Louis Wain, will next be seen in Lena Dunham’s rom-com series for Netflix, Too Much, opposite Megan Stalter.
