Don't tell grandma she's dying

The Farewell (2019) is about an Asian American woman who finds out her grandma is dying but nobody in the family wants to tell grandma is dying. Come for the bittersweet story of emotional suppression, the wrestling of Asian vs Asian American values, the A24 artsy fartsy cinematography, or the warm smile of Nai Nai. Don’t let the synopsis fool you though. This is not a bummer of a movie.
