Quote:
"[In Beeba Boys, Deepa] Mehta pulls off a few cinematic flourishes—stylish surfaces, some great Bhangra club music, Paul Gross sporting the world's worst man-bun—but she is fatally unsure of her tone. Torn between condemning the characters' brutality and extolling their Punjabi cultural pride, her storyline remains confused and tentative."
