Basmati Blues

CriticsCritics: 20
AudienceAudience: 4.2

A sheltered young scientist is sent to India to introduce a genetically modified rice she believes will help local farmers. As she encounters the communities affected by the product, she begins questioning the corporate mission she was asked to promote.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like bright, song-filled romantic comedies with a Bollywood-inspired style; Not for you if you want nuanced cultural representation or polished storytelling.
