Though its a flawed effort, IThe NamesakeI is worth seeing for its unflinching depiction of family hardships and stunning cinematography. Director Mira Nair IMonsoon WeddingI, turning in her most personal film to date, captures so many gorgeous shots of India that it plays like the countrys greatest tourism commercial. After seeing the Taj Mahal and then having the lens zoom onto the umpteenth icicle dangling from a New York tree, its hard not to empathize with Ashima and dream of a one-way ticket back.
