Canadian writer/director Ian Iqbal Rashid makes his feature film debut with the romantic comedy Touch of Pink. Jimi Mistry plays Alim, an young gay Ismali-Canadian living in a fashionable section of London. He has an active fantasy life involving Kyle MacLachlan, who appears as the charming ghost of Cary Grant. Alim also has an active social life in the real world with his actual boyfriend Giles (Kristen Holden-Ried). His life of leisure is interrupted when his mother Nuru (Suleka Mathew) arrives in town unexpectedly from Toronto. She also has a secret plan to take him back with her to Canada so he can settle down and find a nice Muslim girl to marry. Touch of Pink premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

| At first, TOUCH OF PINK appears slightly off-kilter: heavy-handed, silly, just too much. Stick with it, however, and it'll probably grow on you. Jimi Mistry is perhaps less charming and good-natured than usual (he pouts throughout), but Kyle MacLaughlin as Cary Grant--that's right--is first-rate, as is Suleka Mathew (what a good-looking woman!) as Mistry's Muslim mom and Kristen Holden-Reid (odd spelling for a guy?) as his lover. The rest of the cast comes through just fine, and the movie ends up being a pleasant and occasionally thought-provoking, if feel-good, mix of cross cultural/cross sexual themes. I suspect writer/director Ian Iqbal Rashid has packed into the film more than can be comfortably handled in 90 minutes, but I'll still be interested in seeing his next try. |
