Movie Reviews of East Is East

Movie Review: East is East DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

I've watched this film several times on TV and finally decided I wanted to buy it. It's set in England with a Pakistani father and an English mother. It deals with the problems associated with combining different cultures, especially for the children. There is language that many will find distasteful, but it's the way these people talk. There is also spousal abuse, but it actually is a dark comedy. I've enjoyed it every time I've seen it. Highly recommended, but not for young children.

Movie Review: Just Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars

When the first copy got scratched, we bought a second one. This is the kind of movie you just need to watch and enjoy - funny and serious, dealing with real issues, and so well done! Of course, this movie is meant for the culturally and racially open minded people - this movie speaks about tolerance and cultural clashes and integration, all things that should be a part of our lives, daily and forever!

A Must-See!

Movie Review: Amazing Puri.....
Summary: 5 Stars

i, being an indian knows the potential of om puri as an actor and only lived up to his reputation.he is one of the finest actors in india and has been a part of the art cinema in india since last 20 years. it was a pleasure to see om puri in action after so many years as he has been playing some 'stupid' characters in indian commercial movies as well as 2 minute appearences in hollywood movies. i look forward for more om puri movies in future.

Movie Review: A definite must see movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

In the same vein as Bend It Like Beckman and Monsoon Wedding, East is East tells the story of one family and the traditional but very different family values that each member shares. It's a simple story but told from all view points and through out the movie you wonder how will it all come together! United States fans of the British soap Eastenders will want to take note that the actor Jimi Mistry who plays the son Tony was also Dr. Fonseca!

Movie Review: Compelling Storytelling
Summary: 5 Stars

With a rare combination of edge, grit, song and dance, heart, obscenity, and hilarity, the director takes this stage play and turns it into an unrelenting examination of the explosive tensions involved in a Pakistani family's assimilation into British society. The performances are all remarkable, and you won't mistake this for something you've seen before even though it has elements of "Bend It Like Beckham."
