Good film about the superficiality of White culture and of how so many White liberals lurk in other cultures to find something worth living for. But, this never works because - although the need comes from within - the alleged solution does not.
This movie suffers from the same problem itself; while generally avoiding the usual cringe-making elements often found in films made by Whites - especially the White savior complex.
