Review of Umrika (2015) by Jasrick J — 01 Feb 2015
I saw this movie during the Sundance Film Festival and absolutely loved it. Everything about it is excellent--the storyline, the acting, the setting, the cinematography, etc. Through and through, it felt authentic; I felt very connected to the characters and totally immersed in the Indian (meaning East Indian) setting.
My understanding from the Q & A after the film is that even though some of the filming was done near Mumbai, it isn't a Bollywood film. I don't want to say too much about it because I don't want to include any spoilers, but one of the main themes is the idealization of America by those living in India.
The film is very touching and has a lot of heart. I consider it a must-see!
