A troubled teen in 1980s-era New York longs to reunite with her father in Guyana while enduring a tumultuous relationship with her mother in this drama that marks the feature debut of documentary filmmaker Shundell Prasad. Thirteen years ago, Reshma's father was denied his U.S. visa. Insisting that the young girl and her mother seek out a better life in the U.S., the heartbroken father remains behind in Guana. As Reshma grows into adolescence, the challenges of living in a fractured household begin to take their toll on her relationship with her mother. Those tensions come to a head when Reshma announces that she plans on returning to Guyana to seek out her father, and her mother fights to prevent her from leaving at all costs. ~ Jason Buchanan, RoviRelease Date Festival of Lights Nov 2, 2012 Limited

Review For Festival of Lights
The travel-heavy third act, which leapfrogs a host of key plot points, risibly defies logic and clarity as the film barrels toward its forced and sentimental conclusion.Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times
Somewhere in her switch from documaking to fiction filmmaking, Shundell Prasad seems to have lost touch with clarity.
Ronnie Scheib-Variety
Universal themes aren't enough to buoy unimaginative drama.
John DeFore-Hollywood Reporter
Prasad has a hard time keeping her bulging narrative straight; the twitchy editing, jarring close-ups and bobbing camera only muddle the audience.
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
It ends up being largely just another story about a rebellious American teenager.
Neil Genzlinger-New York Times
Little girls never stop loving their daddies in Festival of Lights, a drama that never stops loving soap-opera-style melodramatics.
Nick Schager-Village Voice
A vivid portrait of the troubled journey of a mother and daughter who flee Guyana and try to set up new lives in America.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
Interesting drama about an Indo-Guyanese teenager suffers from amateurish acting and writing.
Eric Monder-Film Journal International
Unfortunately, the exploration of politics and relationships aren't fully fleshed out under Prasad's unsure direction.
