 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.
Still wiping the tears from my cheeks, an hour later.... March 9, 2008

Based on a Pulitzer Prize winning novel, Namesake is a charming and touching movie about the power of love and the importance of family, culture, and traditions.
This is a beautiful story, well told, perfectly edited, and masterfully shot.
In the extra features, we learn that the director filmed several of the scenes based on famous photographs. This makes perfect sense as the film is artistically shot.
