Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: In Dinner With the President the filmmakers go in search of nothing less than the meaning of democracy in Pakistan.
Rotten: For all of Sumar's hard work and interesting footage, Dinner With the President is a mess, alternating interviews and Sumar's token progressive sentiments before carelessly using the assassination of Benazir Bhutto for a queasy, drawn-out climax.
Fresh: Directors Sabiha Sumar and Sachithanandam Sathananthan examine where their homeland will be in ten years, and the answer reveals a nation full of contradictions.
