We were disappointed – we felt that the very graphic, harsh depiction of Jamal’s life didn’t fit with the more romantic love story. (“We”= my daughter & me.) I would note that my d. says that depiction of poverty in India is very accurate – she spent the summer in New Delhi – but her telling me that was not at all reassuring to me. I’m glad I didn’t have some of those pictures of India in mind before she decided to spend a summer on her own there.

My d. really liked The Wrestler - she just raves about it.
