I definitely enjoyed the movie and can shamefully admit that I probably would not have seen the movie if it had not been voted on 2/3, and I would have missed out on a genuinely insightful look into a facet of American/ Canadian heritage I'm pretty ignorant of. That's a roundabout way of me saying that it's a film that explores some of the trials and tribulations of modern Indians as well as the more universal feelings of love and hatred one sometimes feels for their family. Definitely worth a look if you want a dramedy that has its heart in the right place and looks into a portion of the North American population that we don't always acknowledge.
