Tonight I headed to Sony to catch a screening of Brick Lane, the story of a woman from Bangladesh who is forced to leave home and get married after the death of her mother.
I'd never heard of the film so I wasn't quite sure what to expect and when I arrived at the screening and found myself alone in the theater I genuinely thought about going home, or catching the screening of The Counterfeiters in the next room.

Though there was no one to my left...
and no one to my right...
Though it was just me...
I stayed, and I couldn't be happier that I did.

The story was endearing, the film was beautifully shot, and the performances were stellar. I can absolutely say that Brick Lane has been added to the list of movies that I love...and I recommend... no, I insist that you see it. It may be a little tricky to find, but it will be well worth the search.

I just added that to my Netflix queue but I hope to see it before then.
When are you heading to the OC for a visit??
ok i lied. I was GOING TO add it to my Netflix queue but it wasn't available!! Bummer.
Yeah, it's a new movie...I'm not sure if it's been released yet. As far as a visit...I'll come down whenever!!
I like ending up in a theater alone or almost alone. It makes me feel like on MTV cribs except for the lack of carpet replaced by sticky vinyl!
