« Deepa Mehta [...] deals very insightfully [in Heaven on Earth] with marriage and Indian female subjectivities, 'at home' or in the diaspora, in relation to their family relations, communities and the status of woman. A diasporan, Mehta daringly approaches the theme of 'homeland' and women who come from the subcontinent in the context of domestic violence. »
