The movie is one of the best movies I saw of 2023, with a first time director who made a film that audiences haven't seen before. With a local cast and crew from the Seattle area. This movie might be the one that might shock the Academy by nominated for best picture, best actress, best directed, and best adapted screenplay (a first for an indepedent filmmaker that distributes her own movie). This movie has the best acting, best cinematography, great characters, and giving audiences the chance to see people who look like them. The success of the hit tv show Never Have I Ever, has helped paved the way for the Ava Duvernay of Indian-American feature films. This films, has earned it and The Academy might consider putting it in award season.
