MAY LAST FRIDAY FILM
The Farewell
May 28, 2021
May’s “Last Friday” Film is The Farewell, Lulu Wang’s family drama-wrapped-in-comedy that was pulled from the events of her real life. The film, much like its characters, brilliantly walks the tightrope between gut-wrenching sentiment and humor of the absurd. Its strength lies in its vibrant female characters, whose love, resilience, and sacrifice forms the groundwork of the film.
