It may be longwinded here and there, but Mississippi Masala jumps with life.

Top CriticUnlike Lee's Jungle Fever, which also deals with interracial romance, Nair's film is non-judgmental, taking neither moral ground nor faulting any group. Released when national boundaries were crumbling it was a poignant work about the meaning of home.

Washington and Choudhury definitely make for an attractive ethnic couple in Nair's cross-cultural love story. However, this staid romancer doesn't escape the distinction of its conventional makeup.

Challenges us to add more respect and tolerance to America's cultural stew of many colors.
