It's fine. I wouldn't say The Farewell is particularly moving despite it trying really hard to be touching. The comedy works occasionally and the family dynamics is pretty realistic. I think the story worked better as a short podcast than a feature length film. Btw it's on Amazon for free.

What a truly touching movie. I laughed, I cried, I delighted in learning about a culture that I do not know much of. It makes me want to reach out to my own family and spend time with them. I will not forget this movie any time soon. Thank you to the director of this movie who decided to share this story with the world.

Superbly written and acted. Highly recommended.
