“The Farewell” by Lulu Wang (2019)

Movies directed by women

Discovering Lulu Wang (2/2)

Thirteen minutes into the movie, the plot is clearly established, and we are emotionally involved
Emotions are very soberly displayed / no false notes in the characters / good editing and photography, and a very interesting musical score… An amazing feat!
All this within the profound humility of an hommage made by a grand-daughter to her grandma
This second feature is a strong follow-up to her first movie Posthumus.
