Review of East Is East

East Is East (1999)
7/10
Realistic, Funny and Tragic
1 January 2007
East is East is a breath of fresh air that gives an accurate insight into mixed race families and their struggles to gain acceptance in the community.

It is also very daring in the way it explores how dangerous religion can be, and how it can seriously harm human relationships; this is the case for every religion in the world, not only the religion used in this film.

On the lighter side East is East is hilariously funny at times, which balances out the tragic and dramatic moments. The cast are all extremely talented, and they are very convincing in their performances, and the direction is really simplistic and believable.

7/10 This is a really good movie, and should be seen by everyone at least once.
