Each month, one of the sister-in-laws will pick a movie for the other two. For some reason, watching two movies each month was too hard (go figure). The chosen film will be described, briefly, in the post section, and the comments will be used by the others as a place to discuss.
Our archives will be left on the site. That way, if you're curious, you'll have a list of all our previous reviewed films for your pleasure.
This month, it's my turn, Lisa, and I have chosen Shades of Ray.
Here is the description from their IMDb page: American-born Ray Rehman comes home one night to find his Pakistani father on his doorstep. Ray's Caucasian mother threw him out. It's an awkward time for his father to move in as Ray just proposed to his Caucasian girlfriend - who hasn't given him an answer. While trying to get his parents back together, Ray meets a South Asian girl of mixed descent, just like him, and must decide where his identity truly lies.
I saw this movie during the 2008 Austin Film Festival. It was one of those movies that sounded interesting, but didn't really know anything about. I ended up falling in love with it. I connected with it because I am also of mixed race and have had the identity issue before. I really loved the way they addressed this confusion in a beautiful playful manner.
I'll save my full review and discussion points for when the girls have watched it. Hope you enjoy!
