Chutney Popcorn Ratings & Reviews
ianthomasmalone.com
Ian Thomas Malone
The film's greatest triumph is the way Ganatra breaks down seemingly impassable messiness, making an impassioned case for the power of love to persist under the harshest circumstances.
Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)
Marya E. Gates
A lovely film about the complications of love and family,
Women in the Life
Sheila Reid
It's fun, fat-free and finger-lickin' good.
Chicago Reader
Ted Shen
The film runs out of comic situations after the first hour and resorts to too many senseless montages
Chicago Tribune
John Petrakis
Its strengths are many, but by the end, it's clear that this debut feature has missed one too many opportunities that would have made it a sharper social satire.
IndieWire
Eddie Cockrell
Ganatra and co-writer Susan Carnival do a fine job of illuminating and contrasting the Indian and lesbian cultures, drawing subtle yet strong visual linkages and peppering their script with healthily acerbic observations.
Variety
Lael Loewenstein
Part portrait of merging cultures, part investigation of the parameters of family loyalty, "Chutney Popcorn" is many things, the most important of which is a very good comedy.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
While covering the many tangles and snags of a modern family, Ganatra also examines how immigration affects them.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
A funny, observant, and smart look at how differences in values can take place within one family.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
That really obvious Film School Feeling.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Hollywood could learn a thing or two about how to be truthful and lighthearted at the same time from Nisha Ganatra's perky little comedy ''Chutney Popcorn.''
