Atom User Reviews for The Farewell
I don't cry easily but this definitely made me cry and laugh
If you can get into a dialogue driven drama with many genuinely funny moments and a cast and writing that makes the family feel like family, this is a movie you will love.
Fantastic! So well done.
Absolutely love this film! Such a heartfelt movie and just full of emotions, wonderful cast, and beautiful cinematography ad music!
It was pretty boring, I thought I was gonna feel some emotion while watching it, but I ultimately felt nothing. It had cheap humor, but nothing too special. Price for admission was also overpriced, not worth it. Very dissapointed
I was extremely moved and was so touched at the end of this film. All families can go see this movie. I loved it
a most delightful film...
Such a great film. It’s filled with drama and very heartwarming
Everyone needs to watch this film.
Nice.
It was good! I will watch again! It was slow in places and would have wanted more background on Billi. I need a book version. Ha
This is definitely one of those movies to keep in the will watch again. strong writing and acting
Bittersweet.
Very touching movie!! Highly recommend!
Deeply emotional. Equal parts heartbreaking and hilarious. Awkwafina is delightful.
Call your Nai Nai. This movie left me in tears, beautiful story, great characters, and so funny all at once! Must see!
it was whatever, good acting, but pretty slow.
Really nice story! Very moving and super easy to watch!
Definitely great, tear jerking story! Wish the acting was a little better and that there were less jump cuts.
Really Enjoyable!
Beautiful story, heart warming!
So Chinese. This is how Chinese people are. Respect.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
Metacritic
Awkwafina and Zhao shine in a deft comedy-drama with a higher US per-screen take than Avengers: Endgame.
Awkwafina’s true skill as a remarkably sensitive collaborator has only recently been revealed—last year doing broad comedy in Crazy Rich Asians and now here, where every scene requires a deft shading of sadness and guilt.
Delightfully embracing the specificity of Eastern culture, The Farewell reflects on collective considerations versus individualism, not unlike Crazy Rich Asians. It unearths the universality of complex familial love that defies borders and language barriers.
