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.

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

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

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.
