Review of English Vinglish (2012) by Richard G — 18 Nov 2012

I wasnt' expecting much, but was deleighted by this whimsical film with subtle, thought provoking handling of several issues. Loved the cast of students - maybe because when I visited NYC I didn't find any so multi dimentional.

My experience was more like hers in the cafe. Went in thinking I was going to see a haphazzard Indian film and walked out pondering many subjects; the power of English on the world, how we treat women and foriegners (or just people with an accent), stereotypes, relationships, family .

.. etc. Worth seeing if you need a lift! Don't expect great acting, but I can't imagine trying to fake that you didn't know English if you actually did. Also be forewarned - there's a brief intermission (I guess it's an India thing).
