I saw this film at the local Art House near where I live. It was an interesting film. I liked it. Ben Kingsley playing a Sikh character really brought the film to life. He should get an award or something. It was a rather short film, about an hour and a half. I lost track of the structure of the film. At about 35 minutes left in the film the resolution started. She does get her license and does go to Vermont to see her daughter. So the film has an up ending. I didn't know why she didn't continue to be friends with Kingsley's character? She could have. Perhaps it was too complicated. She was starting anew after her divorce. And he was in a marriage to and Indian woman.
The film is funny, yet dramatic. A true Rom-Com. There are relationship problems, there immigration problems, there is a car accident, there are many plot points in the film. The major one is when she gets a new apartment and passes her driving test. She also reveals that she is from Queens. This is interesting because before she reveals that she is from Queens she puts it down. She also talks about her father who was a bum. I liked the hallucination scenes. And I liked it when Kingsley calls her alone and crazy.
When the accident occurs I thought the worse. I thought Kingsley's character was going to be assaulted or arrested. Luckily the situation was resolved and the tension went away and we were left with comedy again.
This was an enjoyable film with an up ending. Life ends and a new beginning starts.
