Billi, played by Awkwafina, feeling like a fish out of water in her home country, struggles with the family's decision to hide the truth from her grandmother. Critics Consensus: "'The Farewell' deftly captures complicated family dynamics with a poignant, well-acted drama that marries cultural specificity with universally relatable themes."
