Daniel Day-Lewis makes his breakthrough performance in Stephen Frears’s (The Queen, Philomena) groundbreaking film, working from a richly layered script by Oscar-nominated writer Hanif Kureishi.

An uncommon love story between a young South London Pakistani man and his childhood friend, this culture-clash comedy is a subversive work of social realism, commenting on racism, homophobia, and sociopolitical marginalization in Margaret Thatcher’s England.
