A family gathers around a wedding while carrying news they do not know how to share. The Farewell was released in 2019.
Funny, tender and sharply observed, it finds the comedy and strain inside an impossible goodbye.
What makes The Farewell a strong choice tonight is not simply the premise, but the way it gives that premise room to gather force. It rewards an uninterrupted watch, when its tone and rhythm can do their work.
Choose it when you want a film with a clear point of view rather than something to half-watch. Save it now, then come back to PLOT with the scene, performance or feeling that stays with you.
