The Namesake
This is not a sneak preview. This movie has already released.
Cultural shock and the generation gap collide in this fabulous family film about immigrants from India seeking new opportunities in America. Director Mira Nair has crafted a marvelous movie exploring the many aspects of Indian culture. Although the film is about one specific race, any ethnic group will recognize commonalities and will be able to relate to this family. Terrific acting by Irfan Khan, Tabu, and Kal Penn makes this family seem so real. This movie is like flipping through a family album viewing the weddings, child birth, growing up, raising kids, and the funerals. See Calcutta, the Ganges, and the magnificent Taj Mahal. This film may be a little slow on action, but it is rich in the emotional experience. This touching movie is about love, relationships, regrets, and moving forward.
Alien gives it 3 “follow your bliss” stars out of 4.
