Saw this with my cousin Lauren last night. We both really enjoyed it. It seems every movie I've seen involving the Indian culture in some way is always great. (Beckham, Namesake, Slumdog) This movie stars Helen Mirren and several other foreign actors I wasn't familiar with. They all did a fantastic job and I could see an Oscar nomination for Dame Helen. The story takes place in France where an Indian family chooses to open an Indian restaurant directly across the street from a prominent French one. A hundred feet to be exact. The restaurants start at odds but come together later in a very cool way. The movie is mostly about the food and reminded me a little of Chef in that way. However, there are equal parts that were touching and moving regarding family values and romance. I strongly suggest getting out to see this one before it leaves Tallahassee. 9/10 RT 65%

Definitely on my list. Can't wait to see Helen Mirren's character.
ReplyDeleteShe was great as always. A lot of depth to the character too.
