Audience Member Deals with lots of issues in a minority cultured environment in the north of England, but does it in a mildly humerous way, which although is probably better for entertainment purposes also serves to cloud the issues. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member well-acted snapshot of immigrant integration against a backdrop of revived cultural pride to the point of fanaticism in the subsequent generation. it raises many questions about society, identity and ultimately compassion. griffiths & puri turn in convincing performances, as did a non-so-familiar younger skarsgard. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member there is much bound in the gridlock of duty and desires... and this is a tale of listening to your heart and making hard decisions. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I remember seeing this film, but couldn't remember Rachel Griffiths being in it. Om Puri is such an incredibly talented actor. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A multilayered view on immigration, religion and morality. The Pakistani father wants to move on with his life in the English society but the son seeks connection to his own culture and religion in a fanatical fashion. Really refreshing to see the situation this way for a change. Also some great pieces of dialogue. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member It makes some effective points about tolerance and bigotry and the clash between cultures and generations. One the best acting by Om Puri, one of the reasons for making this as my favorite movies. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
