Review: The Farewell and The Art of Self-Defense

This week brings two indie movies, the amazing “The Farewell” and the eccentric “The Art of Self-Defense.”

Please please please get thee to a theater to see “The Farewell” ASAP. Lulu Wang’s film has comedy, drama, heart, and Awkwafina.

​Meanwhile the more bizarre “The Art of Self-Defense” tackles toxic masculinity. Jesse Eisenberg, Alessandro Nivola, and Imogen Poots star.
