Atom User Reviews for The Farewell
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.
I don't cry easily but this definitely made me cry and laugh
Fantastic! So well done.
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
Absolutely love this film! Such a heartfelt movie and just full of emotions, wonderful cast, and beautiful cinematography ad music!
I was extremely moved and was so touched at the end of this film. All families can go see this movie. I loved it
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
Really nice story! Very moving and super easy to watch!
Such a great film. It’s filled with drama and very heartwarming
This is definitely one of those movies to keep in the will watch again. strong writing and acting
Definitely great, tear jerking story! Wish the acting was a little better and that there were less jump cuts.
Beautiful story, heart warming!
Call your Nai Nai. This movie left me in tears, beautiful story, great characters, and so funny all at once! Must see!
Everyone needs to watch this film.
Bittersweet.
Really Enjoyable!
Very touching movie!! Highly recommend!
So Chinese. This is how Chinese people are. Respect.
Deeply emotional. Equal parts heartbreaking and hilarious. Awkwafina is delightful.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
Nice.
it was whatever, good acting, but pretty slow.
a most delightful film...
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.
