      Audience Member Such a good premise, some very real issues and moments captured of an non resident alien, but absolutely ruined by terrible dialogue and bad editing. This should've been a short film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is awesome. It actually mirrors real life to a great degree. It really brings out the life stories of many H1bs but neatly packages all the experiences into our hero's journey navigating the US immigration policies which are not stacked up in his favor. Some real touching moments in the story are how his dating life is dictated by the GC situation; his long term plans and the tension he has to live with as a normal while his GC filing time is running out. Really insightful movie that H1bs both in present in the US as well as those no longer in the US can relate to. The creator of the movie did a great service by making this film and using humor to lighten the real life tragic situation of many voiceless people in the current landscape in the US. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice movie that accurately depicts plight of skilled immigrant workers from India and China. Has a backdrop in the bay area and minor garnishing of bollywood style dance sequences too. with jibes of comedy infused into a serious plot, it's an all round entertainer! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member First and for most. Amazing actors and cast. What a performance. There was great deal of attention to detail in this movie. Hats off to the director Rucha. Even though the topic of immigration gets boring in general, the movie depicts it with humor, fun, bollywood masala and great visuals. I feel the movie is not just for Indians in Immigration limo, its for every one in the country Americans, Whites, Indians to understand a completely different life that legal Immigrants have to live. Instead of Americans, always criticizing legal immigrants for taking away their jobs, this movie sincerely depicts the other side of the coin. And most importantly resonates the feelings of most Indian Americans like me who are frustrated with the US immigration restrictions and pains and are thinking about moving back to India. Hats off! for bringing this topic to main stream :). Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Propaganda movies like this promoting the firing of American workers and their displacement causes great harm. I hope that everyone can make a statement, promoting American workers, and those who have been laid off or fired due to the H1-B Visa program by boycotting this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Good movie but is not the complete story. The corporate lobby in promoting indentured workers is not shown in the movie. probably they are sponsoring the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Namrata Joshi The Hindu Ali Fazal remains likeable despite all the mess surrounding him and Rajit Kapur as a veteran techie pining for India is all sincere in a film that he doesn't deserve to be trapped in. Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter The subject matter's topicality doesn't provide sufficient compensation for the many dull patches in Rucha Humnabadkar's comedy/drama about a young Indian immigrant struggling to get his work visa extended. Apr 3, 2017 Full Review Daphne Howland Village Voice There's nothing new about immigrants to America making compromises in their new country, but in the comic drama For Here or to Go?, the story gets a chai-infused, Silicon Valley-mired twist. Mar 31, 2017 Full Review Leigh Monson Substream Magazine For Here or to Go may have stirred my empathy, but it did little to peak my interest. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Nathanael Hood Audiences Everywhere As is the case in so many first-time feature films that don't make the cut, For Here or to Go? may have worked better as a short film that chopped out all the narrative chaff. Rated: C- Dec 27, 2018 Full Review Devesh Sharma Filmfare The flaw in the film is that it caters to stereotypes. Rated: 2/5 Jul 9, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
