Slumdog Millionaire
Fine. I was surprisingly underwhelmed by this film. Given all the hoopla I was expecting to be knocked sideways by its brilliance. Sadly this was not the case. There is much to recommend here: the performances of the child actors, the atmosphere of a culture not much featured in western movies and the performance of Anil Kapoor as the TV show host. Otherwise the plot was quite predictable and pedestrian. I must say much of the praise now seems a little over-wrought.
