A Wedding - 2016 - 7/10
AKA - Noces

Uncomfortable story of relocated Pakistani family living in France.
The 18 year old daughter ponders an abortion. Waffles and procrastinates.
After she makes a decision, the family concludes she needs to marry.
Living in France, she is becoming too Western.
She is given three photos of Pakistani males and told to choose.
Again, she procrastinates, only this time the screws bear down.
You root for her because she has spirit and joie de vivre, but family pressure is agonizing.
Though opening credits state, “Inspired by true events,”
much of the story seemed to evoke Madame Bovary.
