Tears will flow for many audience members in the third act, but this is not a film of draining weight. This is a story of laughter and reality and deep, deep unshakeable love. And, in an odd way, this film is the perfect answer to 9/11 though, unlike some other films who revel in their own bravery, it never refers to that day in any way. This is a film about immigrants and the American dream and ethnic diversity, and not really noticing ethnic diversity as anything more than human diversity, and secrets and family and staying awake in the unending, emotional-sleep-inducing din of New York. This is a film whose basic avoidance of jingoism allows us to keep our defenses down and to find our inner humanity in the humanity of these people. more
