Bollywood standout Kalki Koechlin (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, SDAFF ’13) breaks through in a big way as star of the loveable indie MARGARITA, WITH A STRAW. Swerving away from the arduous trappings of the disability tragedy, MARGARITA is about jumping into life headfirst, from the music scene of Delhi to the hot-blooded streets of New York. Along the way, Laila (Koechlin) makes friends with the disabled and the able-bodied, falls in love with men and women, and charms with her smile and her comic proclivity for storming through expectations of what life with cerebral palsy ought to be. Skillfully directed by Shonali Bose as a jubilant tale of self-discovery, MARGARITA, WITH A STRAW is a cocktail shaker full of passion and cheer. –Brian Hu
