8/10
Family's Journey
23 September 2007
Warning: Spoilers
"Pomegranate" is a beautiful and moving film, written and directed by Kraig Kuzirian. It's a moving story about family – that no matter what issues a family may face, that a family can come together in a time of need, even if they've been apart for a long time.

The movie also deals with faith as one of the main characters is a priest in Beirut, who must deal with the loss of his family in a bombing. He journeys to the States to reunite with his family, in particular his cousin, a Hollywood director, in order to deal with his loss.

Michael Gorjain plays the director, who has lost his love of his family and his culture, but rediscovers them through his cousin, the priest.

The film has a lot of personality and avoids being completely bleak and dramatic by having eccentric family members to lighten the mood so the movie doesn't become overly heavy.
