Movie Reviews of The Namesake
Movie Review: An Inward Journey in the Outer World
Summary: 5 Stars
What's in a name?
Kal Penn gives a powerful performance in this inter-generational, cross-cultural journey that combines the interconnectedness of all things with the main character's distinct individuality as he walks a path of self-discovery and learning.
When is a name more than a name? Arguably never, or arguably always.
Either way, watching this movie is time well spent.
Movie Review: a wonderful movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is just a wonderful movie. And, if you are of Indian origin-this movie will speak to you in so many ways. I loved it, it reminds me of my parents and the also reminds why I am so happy everday. While Kal Penn and Tabu have done a great job, I thought Irfan did a fanstastic potrayal of a hardworking but socially clumsy father-like all Indian dads are.
A very beautiful movie!
Movie Review: A Powerful Flick
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Namesake" is an excellent movie that demonstrates cultural and racial differences in a non-biased way. There are many lessons to be learned throughout the storyline, and the acting is superb. If you want to think about how diverse a people we are, this movie should be on your to-view list. It's educational without being preach-y. It's a lesson without being in the classroom.Movie Review: Stunning film
Summary: 5 Stars
A stunning film of a beautiful book. Outstanding performances, beautiful cinematography, fine direction. Since I write about names and naming, I was especially interested in the subject. The intricacies and nuances of cultural traditions and cross-cultural experiences are portrayed with integrity and care. One of my favourite films in recent years.Movie Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
This story is amazing - The insight into a family can help sons, daughters, and all else to perhaps be more considerate of other family members and native citizens to admire and love people who come to live in their country that do not appear to be the same as them. Beautiful, beautiful people and every one of the actors deserves an award!
