It is so unlike anything American that I've ever watched. It probably helps that it's set in Glasgow with the main characters being of Pakistani and Irish background.

If you can find it, watch it. I can almost guarantee that it'll be the most different thing you watch this month. I only wish I'd seen it back in 2004 when it was released.

Its name? "Ae Fond Kiss"

If you see it, tell me what you think! I think it's absolutely beautiful as cinema goes.

Happy hunting.

Doesn't sound like my cup of tea, but I'm curious as to what you thought made it "absolutely beautiful."

Story? Acting? Theme? Camera work? Scenery?

Story, writing, acting, music.

Simple as.

Isn't this an English film and not an American film though?

That's... kind of my point

Ooh 2008? Wow, that really was a long time ago.

Anyway, it's on iPlayer at the moment, so if you have access, go take a look.

It pains me as an Irish citizen to plug a Scottish song.
But this is magical. Truly magical, and where the film takes its name from

To go back to the confusion from earlier, you're title makes it seem like this a really good American film, rather than what it seems you intended.

My intention was to get people who watch American films to open up to something new. So yeah, it worked
