Sensual, witty and elegant... In exploring the eternal conflict between love and duty in a fresh, provocative way, Sarif demonstrates that she is a filmmaker of exceptional promise. --Kevin Thomas, LA Times

Very smart politically, and big fun romantically Now Magazine
A feel-good mix of the familiar and the exotic --Variety

I really enjoyed this movie. Very entertaining. Well-crafted as a whole. Funny. The entire cast is WONDERFUL... the mother, the sisters, the men... yep, all of 'em. Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth are SUPERB. I felt Leyla's coming out scene was very moving - particulary her father's reaction. I do not like Leyla's line to her mother, "Well I don't accept it!!", however. I think this is a key moment in the film to think about....

I look forward to watching Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth in future performances. They commited fully to their characters and it is easy to see why audiences project their characters onto the actresses. They did a really good job.

I hope with all my heart that Lisa Ray heals completely from her cancer. She's a beacon.

This is a very funny movie with a serious topic. You will actually learn something about the culture of the Middle East. I loved the accents :) The actors make this film very special; their chemistry is beautiful. You simply have to watch this movie!

This review is from: I Can't Think Straight (DVD)

Not only was this movie hilarious but it was sexy and beautiful as well. As an Arab woman myself I can identify with both characters and understand how hard it is to be gay in Arab culture. This was a hilarious spin on such a difficult subject and I was in love with both actresses by the end of the movie. Gorgeous! You will not be disappointed!
