The Invite

Short story yet very revelant to current Sikh issues faced between Canada & India . This story encourages us to self reflect & heal our own internal family differences instead of externally fighting on global scale for land, titles or religion. Fim addresses abandonment, confusion , indentity crisis culture and immigration. Also asks what is love and which love is our priority? Love of religion, family, wife, children, country or green card? The everlasting pain and suffering of children left behind by misguided dads who chose "their own" over their overseas born Sikh descendant children who carry the name and blood but have no hope of establishing ties i.e. Turban with their proud " Sikh " heritage.

The look of this movie and the gritty authenticity of it's scenes create an aura of naturalism. The performances, by some of todays best emerging onscreen actors like Rav, have the dense texture that we associate with realism.

Furthermore, at a time in our world when ambitious shorts are dominated by dexterity and showy sensation, Rav makes a case for sincere, heartfelt emotion, and shows an enviable willingness to risk cliché in the pursuit of genuine feeling.

Finally, Rav's intelligence are reflected in the conviction of the story, and may also leave an life long mark on his audience.

There is so much skill and so much ingenuity, that Rav is without doubt, one of the next great cinematic talents of our generation.

The Invite is 10/10

A must see!
