We soon learn that [Kaju] was born in India and moved with her activist single mom to Los Angeles at age three. Now on the brink of adulthood, she has journeyed back to her mother's home to search for her roots. ("India is so real," she says.) Kaju is staying with her mother's privileged, politically progressive family when she meets Kabir (Ankur Khanna), a serious-minded student who accuses her of using her camera to record stereotypes. "The authentic India, the exotic India, the spiritual India," he taunts. The film's scruffy social realism is lightened with just a touch of Bollywood romance as the pair's mutual hostility slowly gives way to love. Kabir takes Kaju around the city, where she is increasingly drawn to Delhi's slums. Sudden flashbacks and uneasy dreams, combined with her...

During the course of a single afternoon, [Daniel] makes a tentative connection with an older woman. Vera (Elena Hudgins Lyle) is 13 and also an only child. She and her dad are left stranded at the motel by Vera's emotionally unstable mother (played by co-director/co-writer Ingrid Veninger), who storms from the motel in the latest in apparently a long series of tantrums. If co-filmmakers Veninger and Simon Reynolds indulge too heavily in scenes and shots that meander maddeningly, they at least manage to offer up interesting and even recognizable juvenile protagonists -- never an easy feat. The naturalistic performances of [Jacob Switzer] (Veninger's son) and Lyle emerge as the best reasons to buck up and abide your way through the occasional tedious bits.

A secure attachment experience in infancy and childhood has been considered to lay the foundation for an individual's ability to establish, tolerate, and maintain intimacy in relationships, leading to increased perception and receipt of support (Sarason, Pierce, & Sarason, 1990). Research is starting to indicate that social support extends beyond the quantity and quality of one's relationship transactions; social support is also influenced by such factors as the support recipient's personality, expectations, and needs and preferences (Sarason, Sarason, & Shearin, 1986). Sarason et al. (1990) suggested that one such personality variable is a sense of social support. With age, patterns of attachment become more characteristic of the individual's personality, and working models of ...

Yes, [Kyria Abrahams] grew up a Jehovah's Witness. She never owned a Smurf (filled with Satan's energy) or listened to worldly music like Stairway to Heaven (demonic backward masking) or Eye of the Tiger (unspecified but certain demonic influence). I'm Perfect, You're Doomed is a witty but wildly uneven memoir of her childhood and early adulthood in Rhode Island, before she was disfellowshipped by the organization and cast out to live a worldly life as an apostate (a former JW who has made "bad associations" and lost her faith). Of her husband-to-be, a 24-year-old mathematician/total nerd whom she dropped out of school to marry (no sex before marriage), she says, "Alan's house could be described, among other ways, as 'sticky.' You could scratch the kitchen cabinets with your fingernail ...
