02/18/2014 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. See more 07/01/2012 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. See more 07/01/2012 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. See more 04/19/2011 I remember seeing this film, but couldn't remember Rachel Griffiths being in it. Om Puri is such an incredibly talented actor. See more 10/24/2010 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. See more 04/17/2010 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. See more Read all reviews
