Review of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2012) by Saidul H — 14 Nov 2013
I thoroughly enjoyed this romantic comedy with Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt. There was an understated chemistry in their on-screen relationship, in fact, everything about the film is gently understated, from Lasse Hallstrom's directing to the typically British wit in the comedy.
Kristin Scott Thomas and Amr Waked play fine supporting roles. The plot is built around the governmental 'spin' placed on a trial to bring salmon to the Yemen for fishing by the aristocracy. A funny tale all 'round.
