Across the Ocean

Nothing deep, serious, heart-wrenching, mind-shattering in here. But a pleasant afternoon watch, with a cup of whatever you like, in a lounge chair on a weekend or holiday. The movie manages to make one smile as it progresses with the lives of the two girls trying hard to get what they want. Some instances are extremely relatable, like parents' reaction etc. Especially for an Indian household. And does make one think about what our childhood dreams were actually, when the movie is over.

And an extra star for making the heroines real, and not any innocent and doe-eyed, damsel-in-distress, suffering, manic-pixie-dream-girl, or whatever the trope that is usually seen these days in chick-flicks.

Very pleasant watch, extremely mood uplifting. Recommended- especially for young ladies.
