The Farewell is one of the most original stories I have seen from Hollywood in a very long time. This is a very powerful story from start to finish and I really enjoyed watching the characters develop and react differently to the news of the impending death of the grandmother character. The actors were all superb and delivered far and beyond from start to finish and it worked so well to produce one of the most heartbreaking and powerful films of 2019.
I enjoyed the side commentary of the differences in the Western and the Eastern cultures as the film takes us on a journey that gave a conflicted main character caught between two cultures. The resulting self discovery was so grounded and real that I can see my own conflicts being reflected on the big screen.
One of the best films of 2019, "The Farewell" is beautifully directed, emotional at its core and was simply a superb time.
