The Farewell
Based on director Lulu Wang’s own family experience, this critically-acclaimed film stars Awkwafina as Billi, a Chinese-American aspiring writer whose grandmother, addressed as Nai Nai, is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Following Chinese cultural customs, the family decides not to inform Nai Nai of her illness, a decision that Billi struggles to get on board with. As noted by Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair, “Wang movingly tells not just a story about the negotiations of familial love, but also of the immigrant experience, of revisiting one’s homeland to, in some senses, say goodbye to it.” Available February 13.
