CGiii Comment
Differences in class and culture...done not so well.
The writing is as subtle as a sledgehammer - the result is rather cringing and whiny.
It feels as if the improvisation took over and the director forgot to shout 'cut'.
Too long, too wordy, too limited.

The(ir) Blurb...
Rachel and Anita, a young Manhattanite couple, are visiting Anita's parents on the Indian reservation she grew up on, for the first time as a couple. Anita, estranged from her parents, wants the fact that they are a couple to be kept secret. In private moments Rachel fights to convince Anita that they should come out to Anita's parents and in public tries to build a relationship of her own with Anita's parents, chiefly by demonstrating her reverence for Indian culture--a culture which Anita has no interest in. As Rachel's attempts to connect with the parents become more and more desperate, Anita begins to question whether her background is what attracted Rachel to her in the first place.
