Probably a pretty important movie culturally. I suspect it has many sister movies in various other cultures across the world.
This witty, comedic but perspicacious dissection of gender, sexuality, identity, ethnicity and body image never feels forced or sanctimonious. It is a friendly and fun story of a person that just wants to indulge a passion and is under a lot of pressure from both sides.
As a child of the '90s I have this tendency to think sexism ended in the fall of 1988 and this reminds us of prejudices that women, as well as men have, in telling people who they can't be for various reasons.
I'm tempted to say that every remotely subcontinental actor I've seen on British television makes an appearance at some point.
A challenging but accessible feel-good movie that doesn't just cave into easy solutuons.
