India Sweets and Spices Ratings & Reviews
Salon.com
Radhika Menon
India Sweets and Spices gives us a different aspect of the diaspora experience by trying to understand Sheila's generation and the things they gave up in order to give their children the life they have.
Common Sense Media
Monique Jones
The film's balance of humor, drama, and emotional depth makes India Sweets and Spices a delight to watch.
Cultured Vultures
Natasha Alvar
In spite of the themes of emancipation the film has wrapped itself in, it's ironically caught between the safety of old paths and its desire to step into new ones.
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
The film does still have a certain degree of charm, thanks mostly to the performance from Ali, who moves nicely between the comedic and serious moods and helps to center the narrative.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
Unfortunately, "India Sweets and Spices" feels as shallow as the wealthy community it depicts.
RogerEbert.com
Roxana Hadadi
Much of this has been done before in more stylish, more well-rounded films, and India Sweets and Spices suffers from those comparisons.
TheWrap
Monica Castillo
Alia's internal tug-of-war may be familiar to many first- and second-generation children of immigrants, and Malik's film makes that uneasy struggle into a poignant yet delightful journey of self-discovery.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Writer/director Geeta Malik attempts to tackle a lot within the fairly limited framework of India Sweets and Spices.
Los Angeles Times
Kimber Myers
Warmth and intelligence - and a strong sense of both fun and feminism - make Malik's film worth a watch, and rising star Ali is worth keeping an eye on as well.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Substantive without being didactic, and bursting with humor, it's a genuine feel-good film that focuses on the relationships between people in a manner that's as authentic as it is pleasing.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
A bland, uninspired story cut from a well worn template.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Malik addresses potent cultural issues with clarity and sophistication and the film winds up being as much of a spitfire as its irresistible female protagonist.
New York Times
Lisa Kennedy
Without sacrificing comedic buoyancy, Malik and her ensemble make palpable a community that is vibrant and claustrophobic.
Washington Post
Kristen Page-Kirby
There are some good laughs to be had, some good lessons to be learned and room to discuss the importance of being allowed to be imperfect.
Houston Chronicle
Cary Darling
Ali is absolutely charming as Alia, possessing some of the same awkward likability that Issa Rae displays in "Insecure."
DarkSkyLady Reviews
DarkSkyLady
India Sweets and Spices is funny, chock-full of messy drama but has an underlying heart about topical issues.

Sophie Ali shines as the teen daughter who is trying to both support and rebel from her parents

Russ Burlingame
0 COMMENTS One of the smartest, funniest, and most welcoming movies so far in 2021, India Sweets and Spices is a must-see movie stacked with talent.
Screen Rant
Mae Abdulbaki
India Sweets and Spices has a lot of overall great ideas and themes, even if it doesn't always rise up to the potential of its setup and story.
Variety
Tomris Laffly
Everything starts and ends with tradition in "India Sweets and Spices," an inviting intergenerational dramedy of comforting flavors, both witty and familiar.
