Movie Reviews

Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) - 10/10 by Linda CookPower 'Farewell Party' centers on the end of life.
Oregonian - 9/10 by Marc MohanObviously, this is tricky stuff, but directors Sharon Maymon and Tal Granit, both in their 40s, manage to mix morbidly amusing jokes with a wry appreciation for the seriousness of the subject matter.
New York Times - 9/10 by Stephen HoldenFor all its sensitivity to the subject, The Farewell Party makes a number of tonal missteps of which the most glaring is the insertion of a musical number that upsets the movie’s otherwise sensible balance between the comedic and the morbid.
Newcity - 9/10 by Ray PrideThe screenplay's mix of gallows humor, moral pondering and uplift is deft... and the acting... is universally fine... An unlikely but genuine black comic achievement.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by J. R. JonesThe gags in the movie's first half are so unapologetically mordant that I was disappointed to see them dwindle to nothing in the second, as so often happens in stories like this one.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Tirdad DerakhshaniFor all its talk of death, The Farewell Party, featuring a terrific ensemble cast, is a story about life. Always honest, graceful and funny it explores with deep compassion its characters familial and romantic relationships.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - 9/10 by Barbara VancheriThe laughter leavens the suffering and you may not agree with all of the actions, but the movie will give you much to deliberate, debate and decide for yourself while you can.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Elise NakhnikianA neatly balanced tragicomedy about the easily blurred line between assisted living and assisted death.
Tribune News Service - 8/10 by Roger MooreThe performers, working in Hebrew (with English subtitles), make their characters empathetic, emphatic, human and humane.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Michael PhillipsThis is straight-up commercial comedy, low-keyed diversion, and while it can't hold a candle to recent, dark-comic Israeli achievements such as Joseph Cedar's "Footnote," the actors more than save it.
