Shades Of Ray
VN:F [1.9.8_1114]
Rating: 4.3/5 (4 votes cast)

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.
Why It's FilmBuff
Shades of Ray offers a fresh take on the idea of race, ethnicity, culture and identity. The story itself is not unique, but the execution stands above other films which aim to do the same thing. There is a noticeable craft to the characters and the relationships feel real. With solid performances by Zachary Levi and Sarah Shahi putting this film under the FilmBuff label was a no-brainer.
