A Touch of Grey

The film was simply excellent. If this film is any indication of her future ones, I am extremely excited to see the next Sandra Feldman flick.

The plot unraveled extremely carefully and was meticulous in detail. The audience is enthralled by the content of the film, and conclusion definitely does not disappoint.

The acting was superb. I was very impressed with the talent of the actors. The chemistry among the actors was also laudable, as the fed off one another's personalities and idiosyncrasies.

Overall, a fantastic film. Bravo!

Movie Review: A Touch of Grey

Sandra Feldman's warm sensitive and always comical film, A Touch of Grey, marks Feldmans debut as a writer, co-director, and producer portraying four middle aged females who reunite after many years to have a girls night out. Co-directed by Ian D Mah.

Feldman a family practitioner in Toronto, was compelled to share life histories that continue to repeat over many years of practise. Struggles and unseen, unspoken challenges of middle-aged females in our generation are clearly revealed. This is not just a chick flick on the contrary this is a must see for married couples and any serious relationship that can identify the personal conflicts in the family system and how it affects family, personal relationships, and need for compromise. More importantly to evaluate ones own needs over time and question our present direction.

After many bottles of wine the leader of the group acted by Maria Del Mar rehashes old flames and addresses her close friends misadventures. Katya Gardner, Kirsten Bishopric, and Angela Asher provide strong performances creating the tug-of-war of love for each other. This chemistry is laugh out loud funny, hilarious banter.

Del Mar believes she has life experience down, only to reveal she too has decisions to make and will she follow her own advice?

A wonderful Rorschach Ink Blot Test for a generation on middle agers.

A great film, a tight script, well acted performances by all four actresses. A deeply moving fun and witty film, it will keep you laughing and encourage self reflection, unless of course...................you have all the answers.

I think of this as a post-Sex and the City film. It's not often that older women get a chance to get major roles on screen, and certainly not roles like these. Featuring some of the best performances at this year's ReelWorld festival (including established Canadian actress Maria del Mar), A Touch of Grey is definitely a polished film – geared toward a female demographic. The story revolves around a group of middle- aged friends who reflect on their lives in the past 20 years or so of friendship – from high school to their current lives. What emerges is an explosive revelation of secrets, horrors and confessions. In an industry dominated by 20-year old ingénues, it's rare to see a woman over 40 play anything other than a stock character. It's refreshing to see so many great roles for middle- aged women in the same film – and the result is a clinic for the actor in subtlety, depth of emotion and nuance. Four sharply defined characters take us through their roller coaster of emotions, and the culmination of their efforts is an utterly human film that is as honest as it is heartwarming.
