Monsoon Wedding – 2001 Nair
- Mira Nair skillfully handles the
ensemble drama with swift pacing and strong characters. There’s the
central family, the event planner and maid romance, the story of the niece
who was a victim of abuse who is now older and trying to protect it from
again
- An
excellent narrative– family and generational conflict – authentic, painful
one minute and humorous the next—the term “universal” used by almost every
critic
- A few quick
musical interludes
- Unfortunately
the camera and some of the visuals are about as adventurous as a sitcom
- Alternating
languages (often within the same sentence) feels essential and genuine to
these characters
- Recommend but
does not land too close to the top 10 of 2001
