Lies We Tell

It's almost a shame ... there are many things here that I did like ... but then it also has a lot of things that make your skin crawl too. Jumping from too easy to the expected .. to the almost ridiculous. Evil can be seen as pure evil ... and then there is comically evil too.

Acting wise there are some really good performances, some of the things the script really lets the actors down though. Quite the shame as I already said. I'd wish there was more of Harvey Keitel in this too, but you can't get everything you want all the time, now can you?

So many illogical scenes and boring conversation in one single movie!!! I still don't know whether to laugh or cry at the stupidity of this movie.

This film is predicated on a very parochial premise, which could have redeemed itself if the humanism had a more profound portrayal. I found the plot and dialogue adolescent and the film was too boring to sit through. There was an ongoing presumption that the audience would have a cultural knowledge of Pakistanis in England, which left me feeling both bewildered and annoyed. The scenes were poorly linked and so much dialogue was either unbelievable or irrelevant to the story.

My feeling is that the entire story was executed by a director with good intentions but a shallow and tired premise of the cultural problems of a woman attempting to transcend cultural boundaries. The pathos failed to draw real emotion and minimal comedy could have been explored more. This movie is a waste of time and money.

A movie with Gabriel Byrne and Harvey Keitel wow I'm watching this.

That was my thoughts but how disappointed was I, a horrible movie best avoid

Then the film flopped. It was boring in my opinion.
