Amreeka
4/5
Thankfully, a non-Hollywood production that doesn't ruin the story with predictable writing and excessive gloss. It's being compared to My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but it's not a comedy and nor is it as much a fairytale. Excellent acting from unknown cast. It's something everyone can relate to.
"Winner of the Critic's Prize at Cannes in 2009, Amreeka is a
universal journey into the lives of a family of immigrants and
first-generation teenagers caught between their heritage and their new
life in America as they search for a place to call home."
