“Parmar’s film scores with its central partnership, glowing like a strand of saffron at the heart of the mix.” — Eye For Film

“Nina’s Heavenly Delights is a brave piece of filmmaking attempting to fuse nationality, gender and sexuality into a heart-warming tale of acceptance and over-coming adversity. For the mini budget and short five-and-a-half week shoot time, Parmar, has actually created something quite adorable and, at times, visionary.” — Carol Keegan, Film Exposed

Nina's Heavenly Delights - A romantic comedy by Pratibha Parmar from Kali Films on Vimeo.

Parmar etches a sympathetic profile that acknowledges the complexity and divisiveness of her subject and argues for the continued relevance of her work. Enacted scenes are tender, exuberant, shattering. With their quiet ferocity and recognizable predicaments, the dramatic vignettes in My Name Is Andrea find the Everywoman in a singular figure, and the film as a whole connects Dworkin’s concerns about class and race and gender to the present moment.
