The Farewell (2019) - 5/5

This is a funny but moving true story about the grandmother of a Chinese family where the majority of the family has moved to Japan or The US and the Matriarch has stayed home with few relatives. When the grandmother is discovered to be sick, the family meets in China for a wedding disguised as a goodbye.

This was such a sweet movie and very educational or me, and even my Chinese girlfriend. To see how family operates as the primary factor in the east where as in the west it is ones self that is the priority, was really eye opening. Beautiful acting from the Grandmother, a Chinese actress who I think will get an Oscar nod for Supporting Actress here, and Awkwafina, a really fine performance from her. I'd go see it with your girlfriend or if you are interesting in Chinese culture and the way it differs from ours.
