"The family comedy"?? I cried my guts out in that film, not one kid could easily enjoy it. 10/10 would recommend!

"The Farewell" is AMAZING! It's easily one of the best films I've seen in years. I laughed, I cried ... I learnt some things about Chinese culture and also realized that my family handled my Grandma passing in a similar way. It's a beautiful film, every step of the way. Essential viewing for anyone dealing with loss or the death of a loved one. Well done Awkwafina! This young woman deserves many accolades for her beautiful performance.
