> Our film this week defies categorization. You could call it a romantic comedy and that would be accurate, because there are indeed elements of romance and comedy. It mines clashes across cultures and generations for laughs that are specific to the main character, a Pakistan-born comic’s, experience but also resonate universally. The film also functions as an astutely insightful exploration of how we live now with the main character’s enduring racism that’s both casual and pointed.
