6. The Farewell (2019)

Lulu Wang's The Farewell is the perfect mix of humor and heartbreak as it delivers a very personal look into family and cultural identity. Starring in a role that has earned her a Golden Globe, the film follows Billi as she and her family come together under false pretenses of a fake wedding to say their goodbyes to terminally ill Nai Nai, who does not know she is dying. The quiet moments of the film are where its emotional depth lies—unspoken sacrifices, shared meals, and intergenerational bonds.
