CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
matlopas Great music. Interesting storyline. My teen girls loved to romantic plot and dancing. I loved the the music, plot, politics, and setting.
nicoleamc Smart humor, relevant, and conscious storytelling about the impact of science on an entire culture. Clever use of dance and music which seamlessly embodies each character and drives the point of the story home. Brie Larson beautifully portrays her character of Linda and intelligently drives the point of the story forward. I also enjoyed the playfulness of Donald Sutherland and Tyne Daly throughout as well as how comfortably and artfully they delivered their characters whether dancing or singing. The photography was wonderful and the scenes of village life and people reminded me of my time in India. Well done. A story.that all my friends and family can enjoy regardless of age.
milton-chassman It's just a fun fish-out-of-water romantic comedy/musical that works as both a family movie and a date movie. Brie Larson gets to show off her musical talent and Donald Sutherland doesn't disappoint as the bad guy. On top of that, I learned a thing or two about rice farming along the way. Go figure!
Mahendra Vishwakarma Expected the movie to be good considering Brie Larson is in the movie, however it's just an average movie. The movie starts with introduction of Brie Larson who's a scientist at Rice seed producing company. She visits India to promote Newly invented breed of Rice seeds by her Company. She tries to persuade farmers to sign contract of buying seeds from her company. She meets an Indian guy and falls for him. Unaware her company is trying to cheat the farmers to make money, she convinces most of the farmer to accept the contract. However the things change towards the end.A musical movie with predictable turns of romance, anger, betrayal and conscience doesn't creates a great impression. Other than costumes of the character and background music, nothing's great.
