Review of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012) by Dan D — 11 Dec 2012
Nice story set in a rich world - just wish the writing wasn't so simple. A classic 'fish out of water' story - 'Marigold' brilliantly crafts a lush world filled with a rich cast of characters.
This is the transformative story of growth and understanding that 'Eat Pray Love' wanted to be. It's weakness, however, is in its very direct storytelling: not-so-subtle dialogue and voice over does the narrative heavy lifting.
Besides the sharp British wit, 'Marigold' just has a little too much exposition for its own good.
