West Is West (2010)
10/10
A sensitive, thought provoking and very entertaining film
1 September 2018
It is easy to see how a teenage boy with a Pakistani father is bullied and reacts by his attitude, resentment and rudeness. In desperation his father takes him to Pakistan to meet his kinsfolk and to his wife who he left 30 years ago to bring up a family. He sent money back for the family but was busy getting on with his other life in UK. I loved the filming in Pakistan and the great music and I understood the man's dilemma who was by no means bad but with a warped sense of right - but then that's the culture difference. A real insight into the Pakistani community who split their lives between the West and the East. Great characters, realistic, fabulous scenes and music and a superb uplifting story with a good dose of humour. I loved it.
