A young Bangladeshi woman, Nazneen, arrives in 1980s London, leaving behind her beloved sister and home, for an arranged marriage and a new life. Trapped within the four walls of her flat in East London, and in a loveless marriage with the middle aged Chanu, she fears her soul is quietly dying. Her sister Hasina, meanwhile, through letters to Nazneen, tells of her carefree life back in Bangladesh, stumbling from one adventure to the next. Nazneen struggles to accept her lifestyle, and keeps her head down in spite of life's blows, but she soon discovers that life cannot be avoided - and is forced to confront it the day that the hotheaded young Karim comes knocking at her door.
Leave your thoughts about Brick Lane.
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsThe sort of female empowerment flick that could get a fatwa issued against Sarah Gavron, the intrepid director daring enough to make the picture |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Annie WagnerWhat [Brick Lane] lacks in ambition, it makes up in intimacy. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanOne of those feminist cries in the dark in which the heroine, a saintly sufferer, is more admirable than interesting. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Brick Lane is so lovely that even a simple shot of empty hangers in a closet shimmers. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerA thoughtful and often evocative drama of identity and assimilation, but she leaves Nazneen so cocooned in her protective shell of disconnection that we can't connect emotionally. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertTells a story we think we already know, but we're wrong: It has new things to say within an old formula. |
| Chicago TribuneJan StuartBrick Lane has been whittled down from Monica Ali's expansive 2003 novel into a glossy but overly efficient drama that, like Nazneen's husband, is ultimately too ineffectual to make much of a dent. |
| L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorAbsorbing enough, moving enough, and visually attractive enough to provide a perfectly acceptable night out at the movies. |
| CinematicalJeffrey M. AndersonEvery conceivable choice on this film was met with the most obvious answer, and every turn comes right out of other movies. |
| Film Journal InternationalRex RobertsGavron coaxes good performances from her cast, and she captures the look and feel of council housing in East End London... |
