The Farewell is a comedy of warmth and bracing honesty. Simply put, it's one of the best films of the year.

The IndependentReview User
Magnificent screen presence. I thought it was really lovely. I thought it was really funny. I thought it was really moving. You will laugh, you will cry.

Mark KermodeReview User
Thoroughly entertaining, this is a farewell well worth saying hello to.

Radio TimesReview User
Ultimately, it's all about balance, a yin and yang of roots and identities, humour and pathos that comes together into a satisfying, bittersweet wedding banquet of a movie.

ObserverReview User
Awkwafina is a revelation in a central role

MetroReview User
Both a vehicle for Awkwafina's formidable talents and an incredibly charming ensemble piece. If there's any justice, it'll be remembered when it comes to award-scattering season.

EmpireReview User
Extraordinary on every level, Lulu Wang's The Farewell starring an award-caliber Awkwafina builds a funny, touching and vital film about what makes a family in any culture, leaving you with cathartic tears.
