MOVIE REVIEW: Awkwafina stars in THE FAREWELL
is the sister film to 2018’s super successful if somewhat saccharineCrazy Rich Asians. I think it is an oversimplification to label the films as related due purely to the cast being Asian because that removes the nuances of what this film is asking, What does it mean to be Chinese in an increasingly global society? examines the Chinese diaspora through the lens of Billi and her family when they find out that their Grandma Nai Nai, the powerful matriarch of the family, has cancer.
Billi’s father Haiyan pulls off a masterfully restrained and elegant performance of a dutiful son trying to shoulder the burden of his mothers impending death while dealing with the guilt of living so far away for years. The film is slow and meditative, holding shots to let the moment within the frame sink in rather than having fancy camera work appear as a proxy for action. Even though the film takes its time, it is never boring, due in part to it being deliberate with its pace. It lets moments uncomfortably hang. It knows what it’s doing and it does it well.
