The Farewell (2019)
Movie
Released
A family gathers around a grandmother who has not been told her diagnosis. The wedding preparations keep the drama social and funny while the central decision gives you a clear disagreement to explore: can withholding a truth be an act of care? The family tensions and anticipatory grief are substantial, so its warmth should not be mistaken for lightness.
