The distance of a relationship and trying to reconnect after seventeen years is so rough on a person. You change so much and one can often run to other forms of comfort, further shifting you. Farewell Amor's exploration of this dynamic with an immigrant family starts slow, giving us the insight to each family member's inner life apart from one another, making little shifts in presentation and framing as they move from father, to daughter, to mother as central viewpoint before smashing them all together in the final act. It's an incredibly nuanced look at immigrant life and the re-blending of a family together again. Loved this
