Review of The Lunchbox (2013) by Eric H — 04 Dec 2014

Good hearted and well told, subtle 'dramaedy' about the on-paper relationship between a lonely, ignored housewife, and a grumpy older insurance case-worker who starts getting the lunchboxes meant for the woman's husband.

This isn't a film that will make you laugh out loud, or reduce you to tears. But under the excellent direction of first timer Ritesh Batra, this Indian "indie" film will touch your heart and make you smile as you slowly get to know these sad, sometimes foolish, often wise, and always very human characters.

This is a fascinating masterpiece that will intrigue and entertain you without any doubt.
