The Farewell

...en absurd familiehistorie om hemmeligheder og løgne, død og kærlighed og øst og vest.

There are complexities here that audiences will be unpacking for years to come.

...deeply moving and unexpectedly playful in equal measure.

...[Awkwafina] gives an accomplished dramatic performance and is surrounded by a skilled ensemble, naturalistic but distinctive.

It is heartfelt and beautifully observed...

The film’s real value, I think, is its vivid, fully rounded, warts-and-all portrait of Chinese family life — in America among the expats, and back home.

Each member of the extended family is drawn with sharpness and humour, making them a pleasure to hang with.
