Movie Reviews

Paste Magazine - 6/10 by Christine N. ZiembaUnfortunately, the exploration of politics and relationships aren't fully fleshed out under Prasad's unsure direction.
Observer - 5/10 by Rex ReedIt opens our eyes to a subculture about which most of us know very little, but it is so unsteady in its focus that interest wanes.
Los Angeles Times - 4/10 by Mark OlsenThe travel-heavy third act, which leapfrogs a host of key plot points, risibly defies logic and clarity as the film barrels toward its forced and sentimental conclusion.
Variety - 4/10 by Ronnie ScheibComplex story twists unfold to confusing effect, while characters angrily toss cliches at one another and revelations multiply rather than resolve murky plot developments.
The Hollywood Reporter - 4/10 by John DeForeA novel cultural focus, highlighting Guyanese citizens of Indian ancestry, isn't enough to sustain interest in the lifeless film, which will attract few outside the Indo-Guyanese community.
The New York Times - 4/10 by Neil GenzlingerIt ends up being largely just another story about a rebellious American teenager.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Nick SchagerLittle girls never stop loving their daddies in Festival of Lights, a drama that never stops loving soap-opera-style melodramatics.
New York Post - 4/10 by Farran Smith NehmePrasad has a hard time keeping her bulging narrative straight; the twitchy editing, jarring close-ups and bobbing camera only muddle the audience.
Slant Magazine - 3/10 by Chuck BowenFifteen minutes into Festival of Lights you come to the discouraging realization that you know every infuriating plot beat that will follow.
