"Mixing Nia" tells of a "color blind" half black, half white New York City career woman who wrestles with her identity in a race conscious world. A light drama with "low budget indie" written all over it, "Mixing Nia" is flawed but manages a nominally good story, screenplay, and script. A little flick whose heart is in the right place and a good stop for channel surfers.

A thoroughly enjoyable film about a mixed race woman finding her roots in New York City. Nia is a successful copywriter living a white yuppie life style. When she is asked to make an advertising campaign selling beer to ghetto kids, she leaves in disgust and embarks on a journey of self discovery. Along the way she acquires her first black boyfriend as well as a number of other admirers. And finally finds who she really is.

This film is beautifully shot in NYC and uses some very interesting locations. The pace of the film is well set and you never get the feeling that when is it going to end. What I found very admirable was that it was not and did not try to be judgemental about where a mixed race person should belong and comes across as just be yourself. The romance is cute and the funny parts are genuinely funny. Altogether an excellent film... now if only it was available on DVD ;-)

I loved the movie, I thought it had a few funny scenes. It was a good decent movie that you can watch with your parents. Karen played Nia well, and I liked the guy that lived under her, though he did not have many parts. I did have a problem with one thing, A white parent, and a black parent, cannot make a black child! I am Irish and black, and I have straight red hair, green eyes, and snow-white skin, but I do not go around saying that I'm just "Irish", I say that I am Irish and Black, because that is what I am, even if I look only white.
