Nair likes to have fun even when her material is somber, and for this movie she deploys a rich palette and a multi-culti but mostly kitsch-free score that fuses old and new with a lovely Sufi devotional piece, and is peppered with Pakistani pop. She indulges her sensual side with a wedding, as well as a cheeky turn by Pakistani singer Meesha Shafi as Changez's America-obsessed sister.
In Ahmed, Nair has a splendid partner. His Changez is layered and complex -- a strange man at the crossroads of two cultures, buffeted between both. Schreiber's Bobby is on murkier ground; though the actor does a fine job imbuing the role with as much gravitas as possible, he's simply not as clearly conceptualized as Changez, and the character suffers in comparison. In fact, the film whispers in the end when it's supposed to crescendo' we can spot the denoument a mile away. (Okay, maybe three.) Still, The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a beautifully filmed, well-performed drama that pushes viewers to take a look at issues we may feel reluctant to examine. That it does so with a sometimes obvious hand is forgivable.

Due to the Government's policy against proselytizing, ethnic Russians, Jews, and non-Muslim foreigners enjoy greater religious freedom to choose and change their religion than Muslim ethnic groups, particularly ethnic Uzbeks. Most Christian churches can operate freely as long as they do not attempt to win converts among ethnic Uzbeks. Ethnic Uzbek Christians are often secretive about their faith and sometimes do not attempt to register their organizations due to fear of restrictive reprisals, such as observing to see if they are meeting without benefit of registration, which would lead to arrest under criminal charges. Christian congregations of mixed ethnic background often face difficulties, including rejection of registration or delays in response, or are reluctant to list their ethnic Uzbek members on registration lists for fear of incurring harassment by local officials. 2ff7e9595c
