Cross-cultural Mess
“Just another British, Indian, Muslin, Arab, Christian, lesbian Romantic Comedy” is the tagline for this jumbled film that can’t decide whether it wants to provide political commentary, social criticism or portray lesbian love.Moving to and from Jordan to London and following two women preparing for their weddings—or is it a baker’s dozen of would-be brides? So many characters are introduced so quickly this reviewer could not ascertain the main character’s names until halfway through the flick. And, the women all looked alike: uber-skinny, long haired brunettes with legs for miles.

Sexy?
Tala and Leyla meet through an extended family gathering I did not understand and become fast friends. Cut to hand-holding, gentle touching and finally soft focus, slow-motion sex. Voila, the two are in LOVE. Angst, intrigue and coming out ensue.I Don't Know What to Make of This Film
