Review

Fresh off last year's successful romantic period piece set in South Africa (The World Unseen), drop-dead gorgeous Lisa Ray and stunningly beautiful Sheetal Sheth return as lesbian lovers in the charming I Can't Think Straight. Tala (Ray) is a black sheep. With her own business in London and engaged for the fourth time, she is generally a thorn in th eside of her traditional Jordanian Christian family. Leyla (Sheth) is the shy, ideal Indian daughter with the perfect boyfriend who awlays does the right thing. Both women are on conventional life paths until they meet, when an instant attraction ignites a fast friendship.

One fervent night, sexy Tala and doe-eyed Leyla act on their desires in a scene that lights up the screen, but the encounter comes at a price. These are two women yearning to fall in love for the first time, but it will not be easy for either one to accept their newfound sexuality. Director Shamim Sarif's contemporary lesbian storytelling is entertaining, beautiful and incredibly intimate; it will remind you what falling in love is all about.
