The Farewell is certainly dialogue-heavy, but it captures the Wang family dynamic through blocking and movement, as Billi both stands out as a westerner in her former homeland, and gets caught up in the sweep of family rituals and idiosyncrasies. Full Review

THE FAREWELL uses traditions like this to ponder what makes us human, what shapes our sense of morality, and the ways those codes can vary even within an immediate family.

4 stars out of 5 -- Ultimately, it’s all about balance, a yin and yang of roots and identities, humour and pathos that comes together into a satisfying, bittersweet wedding banquet of a movie.

Rating: 5/5 -- It's a redefining role that hopefully should be richly rewarded in the upcoming awards season. Full Review

Shoulders hunched, head slung forward, and a look of deep, determined bereavement on her face, Awkwafina makes Billi's grief a palpable force, and it renders the final seconds of The Farewell intensely touching. Full Review

The Farewell is a personal, compelling family dramedy, but the film goes beyond its premise and genre conventions - carefully unpacking questions about the division between cultural value systems and ways of thinking. Full Review

Touching, vulnerable and heartbreaking, Awkwafina enters the world of drama with great confidence and comes away with a performance that should be remembered at year's end. Full Review
