The Farewell (dir. Lulu Wang).

Wang’s film is such a bittersweetly triumphant turn of humour and sorrow. Full of genuine emotion, [it] shows audiences such universal familial experience through specificity superbly. Its use of traditions to dissect cultural morality and care leave a lasting impression. By so carefully dramatizing her real-life family’s specific experiences, Wang has made a film that’s so clearly for everyone to empathize with and understand.
