"While Jess objects to the oppressive expectations placed upon her by her Indian family, she similarly opposes the expectations that the Western or British culture places upon women. She must also reckon with the idealized image of women as feminine and preoccupied with hair, make-up, cooking and relationships. Jess is not only situated uncomfortably between the Indian and English cultures, but also between the conflicting views of womanhood and femininity. She does not necessarily agree with either position, and feels compelled to strike a balance between them, one that will suit her and her own sense of identity."

What are your reactions to this quote? Can you think of any examples of Jess creating this balance through the film?
