Synopsis
Gray (Heather Graham) and Sam (Thomas Cavanagh) are inseparable. They live together, take ballroom dancing classes, and jog in the park together. They'd make a very attractive couple were it not for the fact that they're brother and sister. In a bright and beautiful version of Manhattan, where every day appears to be kissed with spring sunshine, Gray keeps herself busy hanging with Sam, working for an advertising agency, and attending kooky sessions with her flaky therapist, Sydney (Sissy Spacek). All is well, until brother Sam up and falls in love with the gorgeous zoologist, Charlie (Bridget Moynahan). Gray is happy for him, but panicked about how it will affect their relationship--particularly after Sam announces that he and Charlie are getting married. Gray does her best to cope and be supportive, but things take an unexpected turn when she suddenly finds herself sharing a drunken, passionate kiss with Charlie the night before the wedding. The next day, Charlie doesn't even recall their embrace. But the kiss has opened up a whole new world for Gray. GRAY MATTERS is an ultra-light look at homosexuality and the challenges of coming out late in life. Graham's cutely neurotic Gray comes off as a sort of lesbian Lucille Ball--silly, and without much substance. However, it is perhaps a positive sign for the gay rights movement that they now even have their own powder-puff rom-coms--the kind that seem ready-made for teen slumber parties. Alan Cumming and Molly Shannon lend a bit of comedic spark with their turns as Gray's supportive, outspoken pals.

Customer Reviews

Just Didn't Work...
...on so many levels - and what a shame, because Heather Graham is really very good (timing, line delivery, generally BEING the character) but Bridget Moynahan? Wooden (although I feel the need to apologise to trees, benches and pencils for comparing them to her) is her at her best. She just seems to be used as the proverbial "manequin", and what I mean by that is: she could literally be replaced by one and you wouldn't notice the difference. IF you can ignore her awfully wooden line delivery and the no chemistry she has with everyone then this is not a terible movie. It's good for a laugh just do not expect a long lasting memory of the experience. To sum up: if you've got nothing else to watch them give it a go.

I've seen worse but definitely seen better movies than this. It is unbelievably cheesy and some of the lines just made me cringe. I suppose if you like chic flicks this might be right up your alley. There's just no magic and the end is a bit 'in the air'. I felt the best bit of acting was from the cabby who befriends Gray and tries to help her on her road of self discovery and also her therapist... both of whom are actually funny.

Let's Face The Music And Dance!!
It's really great to see yet another up-beat lesbian-ish themed rom-com type movie around, following up from 'Imagine Me & You' and 'Nina's Heavenly Delights', of course.

Gray Matters immerses itself in a little music and dancing along the way, keeping the story light and fluffy in places, whilst dealing with Heather Graham's character, Gray, realising she is gay.

The two lead female characters are absolutely gorgeous, and provide many moments you can relate to as well as laugh out loud to.

If you love a good rom-com, with a bit of dancing & moonlight & love & romance thrown in, then this one's for you!
