Overly earnest but engaging. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Ocean, smoothly directed by Sarab S. Neelam, mostly comes down on the side of tradition and, like Amrit, is dutiful and virtuous. And, like him, it's also a bit too well mannered to make a strong impact. Go to Full Review

Lance Goldenberg L.A. Weekly Dec 17, 2009
