★★★★★
‘Despite being rooted in knotty issues of identity, Lahiri’s novel forgoes didacticism in favor of vivid portraiture. Nair and her uniformly superb cast take the same tack: The characters are individuals before they are emblems.’ — Denis Lim, Los Angeles Times
★★★★★
‘An engaging and moving film with a universal story about the bonds of family as told through two generations of a Bengali family.’ — Claudia Puig, USA Today
