Dan Loves Film 
Great list once again of the best A24 movies. I agree with all of these films which are worth watching. However, I particularly loved “The Farewell”. Lulu Wang’s drama painted realistic portrait of Chinese immigrants. Even though I’m not Chinese, I related towards its strong message about immigration. I was upset by the fact that the film did not receive a single Oscar nomination. It kind of flew under the radar that year. So thanks for including it on your list.
Here’s why I adored “The Farewell”:
