Our take

A very British multicultural comedy, West is West depicts the voyage of a British-Pakistani adolescent and his family, travelling from their home in Manchester to the father’s native Pakistan. A rewarding journey of discovery ensues, brimmed with culture-clash and cross-generational disputes.
