John Anderson

As cross-cultural bridge-builders go, picture is smart, funny and sweet enough to make you reassess your attitude next time you get reach tech support in New Delhi. Read full review

Liam Lacey

Wesley Morris

Watching Granger and Priya chase each other around a hotel like squirrels in a park, you wonder what these two see in each other. Read full review

Kimberley Jones
