What happened to "The Namesake"? It's so much better.

By the way did you really understand the movie?

Movie itself.

It's not hard to follow. Really.

Henry Wong: Agreed, There is nothing complex about this movie at all. In fact, it's the standard "boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl." storyline. The difference is that the details of the story are incredibly well written -- and interesting
Could you provide just one example of this kind of details?

Fatih Akin's The Edge of Heaven and Head-On are currently my favorite. Then, If you are into "kids in a slum" type of movies, then watch
"Chop Shop"! "The Visitor" is quite good too, even though it gets silly at the end.
Two more movies, "Smart People" and "Station Agent" I hesitate to recommend. I liked them, but I suspect lots of people will ask "So what?" upon finishing them. I wondered myself, yet they are hard to forget.
"Waltz with Bashir" and "The Class" are on my waiting list..

Proceed with caution :-) That one seemed to split audiences into those that liked it a lot, and those that didn't like it at all, with not many folks in between.
