DESCRIPTION:Dir. Lulu Wang. 2019\, 100 mins. DCP. In English and Chinese (M
 andarin) with English subtitles. With Awkwafina\, Tzi Ma\, Diana Lin\, Zha
 o Shuzhen\, Lu Hond\, Jiang Yongbo. A true tale based on an actual lie\, C
 hinese-born\, American-raised Billi (Awkwafina) reluctantly returns to her
  hometown of Changchun to find that\, although her family knows their belo
 ved matriarch\, Nai Nai\, has mere weeks to live\, everyone has decided no
 t to tell Nai Nai herself. To assure her happiness\, they gather under the
  joyful guise of an expedited wedding\, uniting family members scattered a
 broad. As Billi navigates a minefield of family expectations and proprieti
 es\, she finds much to celebrate: a chance to rediscover the country she l
 eft as a child\, her grandmother’s wondrous spirit\, and the ties that kee
 p on binding even when much is left unspoken. Writer-director Lulu Wang’s 
 semi-autobiographical film has an unhurried confidence that is rare in tod
 ay’s cinema\, reminiscent of a previous generation of independent filmmake
 rs that favored specificity and humanity over strained universality. The F
 arewell is poignant and hilarious\, and was an art house hit this year\, a
 nd yet it succeeds without attempting to sell itself beyond the community 
 and culture it explores.\n\n	Tickets: $15 ($11 seniors and students / $9 y
 outh (ages 3–17) / free or discounted for Museum members. Order tickets on
