The Reluctant Fundamentalist Synopsis: We begin in 2011 in Lahore. At an outdoor café a Pakistani man named Changez (Riz Ahmed) tells Bobby (Liev Schreiber), an American journalist, about his experiences in the United States. Roll back ten years, and we find a younger Changez fresh from Princeton, seeking fortune and glory on Wall Street. The American Dream seems well within his grasp, complete with a smart and gorgeous artist girlfriend, Erica (Kate Hudson). But when the Twin Towers are attacked, a cultural divide slowly begins to crack open between Changez and Erica. Changez's dream soon begins to slip into nightmare: profiled, wrongfully arrested, strip-searched and interrogated, he is transformed from a well-educated, upwardly mobile businessman to a scapegoat and perceived enemy. With time, he begins to hear the call of his own homeland. Taking us through the culturally rich and beguiling worlds of New York, Lahore and Istanbul, The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a story about conflicting ideologies where perception and suspicion have the power to determine life or death.

Review For The Reluctant Fundamentalist
Nair is so busy making sure we never lose sympathy for her handsome and charming protagonist that the film ultimately founders in a tangle of humanist platitudes.Dana Stevens-Slate
It's a dogged, thoughtful and well-acted movie that might have been more effective if it kept a narrower focus.
Tom Charity-CNN.com
Timeliness is certainly on the side of Mira Nair's uneven but fascinating The Reluctant Fundamentalist.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
A movie imposing in its breadth and depth.
Richard and Mary Corliss-TIME Magazine
Alas, the film's relevance - and ultimately sane upshot - is buried beneath a meandering and oft-implausible plot.
Sara Stewart-New York Post
By literalizing the idea of American military aggression and all that it implies Ms. Nair doesn't just invest Mr. Hamid's story with Hollywood-style beats, she also completely drains it of ambiguity.
Manohla Dargis-New York Times
Powerful, edgy, but overlong film about search for identity.
S. Jhoanna Robledo-Common Sense Media
Riz Ahmed is perfectly cast as a young Pakistani man who, in the year 2000, emigrates to the U.S. to live the modern American dream.
Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks
It's a middlebrow drama, but Changez's transition from elitist Princeton grad living the Wall Street dream to radical Lahore professor is depicted in convincing fashion.
Robert Levin-amNewYork
Should have been thought-provoking, but the protagonist remains frustratingly enigmatic.
Chris Bumbray-JoBlo's Movie Emporium
The heavy-handedness -- the strip-search begins with the loud thwack of rubber gloves -- reduces Hamid's characters to talking points.
Greg Evans-Bloomberg News
This beautifully textured drama about a man caught between two cultures reflects the distrust, misunderstanding and harsh political reality of Pakistan-American relations.
Caryn James-James on screenS
When Nair tries to take in the larger picture, her focus goes slack, and all that's left is a blur.
Sam Adams-AV Club
Dense, ambitious, consistently interesting but sometimes murky cross-cultural, cross-continental exploration of the roots of extremism, prejudice and revenge.
Doris Toumarkine-Film Journal International
