Hala is an understated look at the (mostly self-induced) tribulations of entering adulthood while grappling with a parental culture that is losing relevance. It was refreshing that racism doesn’t play a big obstacle in the story. Feminism plays a central theme instead, playing off established literary references and contrasting it with cultural values. Viswanathan did a great job as the titular character. Unfortunately, the plot dawdles and by the 3rd act swings and misses with its conclusion.

Too slow. I don't have patience for this style of movie. Turned it off after half an hour.

This is a film about culture clashes - about a teenage girl of eastern descent having to integrate with her peers in the US without upsetting her conservative parents, who don't agree with her wearing clothes that aren't modest and hanging out with boys etc. I imagine a lot of people can relate to this. The protagonist speaks somewhat poetically about her ability to express herself and trying to find where she stands.
