Man Push Cart

DateWednesday, February 17, 2010 at 12:00PM

Release Year: 2005

Director: Ramin Bahrani

Review: There is such a thing as too minimalist, and unfortunately 'Man Push Cart' falls into  this category.  What kind of person works in these tiny carts where I get my morning bagel?  On the surface its an interesting premise, about a former pop star in Pakistan who has fallen on tough times in New York City as a push cart vendor.  The movie just doesn't do much.  Every time it starts to go somewhere interesting, it reins itself in and just sits there, defunct of any life.  There seemed to be a perfectly good story just out of reach and I felt cheated that director Ramin Bahrani withheld it.
Rating: 2/5
