...while the pomp and ceremony with which Obama hosted Singh on Nov. 24 may have prompted breathless gushing from the Indian media, it still can't shake a perception in India that it has lost ground to China in the new Administration's Asia policy.

When Jenny and David go to Paris together, the film temporarily drops all its weight and scrawls a breathless love letter to the city and the good looks of the protagonists. The conclusion—which should either re-pose the film’s questions or provide some answers—conveniently forgets them, summarizing the next four years of Jenny’s life in a clichéd voice-over that almost kills...
