“The Farewell’s central theme is identity. It is not just losing her grandmother that Bili fears. She feels that by losing Nai Nai, part of her Chinese identity will fade away with her.”-Ábel Bede reviews The Farewell.
“Tom Cross’ editing made all launches, emergencies and landings full of suspense which combined with Justin Hurwitz’s tense score, Linus Sandgren’s beautiful cinematography and Chazelle’s professional directing resulted in an edge-of-your seat final landing sequence that’s guaranteed to leave the audience breathless.”
