Yellow Boots
written by jorgehernandez.miami on Oct 24th, 2011read all my reviews
this review is from: That Girl in Yellow Boots (ON DEMAND)
A fascinationg look at morals, from a relativistic viewpoint. Ruth, about 21, is in search of her father. She lives in Bombay, speaks the language and knows the customs. Her mother is English and her father a Hindu. He mysteriously left after the suicide of her yonger sister, Emily. The film is well acted and the dialog crisp. The story unvails at a slow and interesting pace. You may not like what she finds at the end of her journey, and she'll be worse for it because of it, but it does provide closure. I give it 4 stars.
