 LOVE THIS STORY! April 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have to say that I really love this movie, I have seen it four times and in my loving this film, have sat and watched it with others. It is a truly beautiful, sad and real story about cultures crossing over, traditions reigniting,the tugging of confoming and many other human interest subjects. It is tender and beautifully done. I cry everytime I watch it and hope it is an inspiration for other great films like this one to be produced sans the violence, foul language and nudity that we don't need to make a brilliant film as this one.
great! April 12, 2008

Excellent film. Film covers culture, identity, and parental relationships. Deals truthfully with what it is like to be a person of color growing up in a white world and how many come to terms with ones culture/identity. Excellent tasteful film.
 Better Read the Book April 8, 2008

It's easy to point out the many tiny flaws is this engaging little movie: the unexplained cruelty of the romantic lead to his American girlfriend, the weird conceit that a woman like Tabu could walk around in the world and not stop traffic,the disconnection of the scenes which make the movie feel like a book of short stories and the sad cinematography.
What survives from the novel is the compelling poignancy of the isolation of the hero. I think that this very modern tale is better read than viewed.

Very moving movie and soundtrack. Fans of coming of age films, cross-cultural familiar issues, will likely enjoy this movie.
