Ekwa Msangi’s debut feature attempts to give a fresh spin on the American immigrant story.

The best thing I can say about Farewell Amor is that it's its own movie, the opposite of I'm Thinking of Ending Things...

One of the great strengths of Farewell Amor is its intimacy, the sense it conveys of three people close together yet emotionally distant in Walter's small, narrow Brooklyn apartment. Another strength, and a huge one, is Mr. Mwine's portrayal of Walter.

Farewell Amor is an understated, beautifully executed illustration of an all too common, yet underrepresented, experience – a family desperate to find their feet, in a world that has moved on without them.
