India Sweets and Spices

"'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 (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)" 

"None of it is groundbreaking or even sophisticated stuff exactly, but 'India Sweets and Spices' still leaves an unexpectedly nourishing aftertaste." 

"The wit in Malik’s script is a match for Ali’s lively, often sarcastic delivery (...) Warmth and intelligence — and a strong sense of both fun and feminism — make Malik’s film worth a watch" 

"Malik mostly maintains the film's humbleness (...) [It] could have benefited from a more thoughtful consideration of the traditional customs it judges (...) [It] is worth watching for [Koirala and Gupta's] work alone (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" 

"A film that, despite a few heavy handed moments, is as sweet and satisfying as its title." 

"A lazy film (...) Positive ethnic portrayals are always refreshing, but unfortunately, homogenization rarely has any flavor (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" 

"Without sacrificing comedic buoyancy, Malik and her ensemble make palpable a community that is vibrant and claustrophobic."
