It's a well directed well acted film, but I can't say I found it either particularly entertaining or thought provoking.
If I understood correctly, it is about classes of people being discriminated against and seeks to get to the causes and effects of discrimination.
The central character is writing a book for which this film sometimes feels like an extended puff. Her particular concern is to highlight the difference between racism and the caste system. I found myself wondering what the importance of the distinction really is. It's the first time I've ever seen what I take to be a scholarly academic book turned into a film and, frankly, at the end, I felt a bit like I had been whacked about the head with a worthy treatise.
