Our take

Prior to her beloved hit Bend It Like Beckham, Gurinder Chadha gives us another heartwarming portrait of female friendship with this dynamic debut. A vibrant road trip to the seaside that celebrates British multiculturalism while tackling the prejudices that exist within the South Asian diaspora.
