Reviews "Laugh-out-loud moments... Superb!" - Huffington Post "The Farewell Party not only thinks the unthinkable, it laughs at the unlaughable. A comically delicate balance to the end." - Los Angeles Times "I can't recall any film ever making me laugh and cry in complete comic and dramatic balance like The Farewell Party." - Minneapolis Star Tribune "Always honest, graceful and funny, it explores with deep compassion its characters familial and romantic relationships. A terrific ensemble cast." - Philadelphia Inquirer "How refreshing for a film to stare death in the face and find compassion reflected in its gaze." - St. Louis Post Dispatch "A very funny film, as mischievous as the youth that has long since left its characters." - RogerEbert.com "A black comedy, both witty and touching. Viewers will come out with a wide smile on their faces." - Screen International
