This highly personal and lighthearted documentary gives some social context but never dives deep on the potentially devastating cultural divide it is exploring. October 16, 2015 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

We enjoy Ravi's search for suitable mates, and we like his family. In the end, they just want each other to be happy - and that's all that matters. September 24, 2015 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Meet the Patels ends up being much more than a movie about a guy going out on dates. It's about shifting identities, parental expectations and trying to hold on to a life raft of tradition in a swirling sea of change. And it's pretty funny, too. September 24, 2015 | Rating: 4/5

It's an authentic look at the sociology of dating that we just don't talk about enough -- especially among marginalized cultures. And that's something to champion in and of itself. March 21, 2017 | Rating: B | Full Review…
