Jhumpa'in the gun

After finishing watching The Namesake, and operating on the usually reasonable assumption that the book is at least as good as the novel, I retract my earlier call upon Jhumpa Lahiri to do more. This was a really good and emotionally real movie, which means that a box of Kleenex is recommended for all but the coldest of heart. A touch overwrought at times, but beautifully acted and well rhythmed and resolved. Rent and watch.
