The Plot: 18-year-old Nazneen (Chatterjee) is brought from Bangladesh to London for an arranged marriage with the middle-aged Chanu (Kaushik). As the years press on, Nazneen finds herself a mother of two installed in a loveless relationship, though the arrival of a Muslim radical (Simpson) might be just the circumstance to help her find the strength to live life on her own terms.
THE BUZZ: Back in 2003, Monica Ali's wildly successful debut novel was shortlisted for the prestigious Man Booker Prize, the same award for which the novel versions of Notes on a Scandal and Atonement both competed. Both something happened in the translation from page to screen, since the hotly anticipated immigrant drama has failed to generate much heat from the festival circuit (an essential ingredient in getting U.S. art-house types to pay attention). Read a couple reviews from both sides of the pond.
