As a daughter of immigrants, this film gave me a deeper and tearful appreciation of the real life struggles my parents went through seeking a new beginning in search of the American Dream.
Malek Rhabani brought Jacir to life. The raw emotion he boldly delivered on screen touched me--from the pain of isolation, injustice and racism, to the compassion, kindness and humanity he showed to a woman (Lorraine Bracco) who frankly didn't deserve it. What a phenomenal performance!
Lorraine Bracco's performance elicited feelings of anger for her character's ignorance, but also pity and compassion. It was a reminder of the human connection that we all need.
What a beautifully acted film and labor of love.

It is RARE to be moved by a movie to this degree! I had to go see it twice!
Malek Rahbani has achieved such a phenomenal performance, every single scene, we are right there with Jacir. The struggles, the identity he never loses, identity of his culture of origin where he meets friends and hopes, obstacles, but always so sincere, raw and pure!
Lorraine Braco plays such an epic, tragic character, and the dynamic between the protagonists is absolutely riveting. This movie has created a modern version of visual poetry, combining the complexity of the layers of culture and subcultures with incredible actors. A masterpiece brilliantly executed!

This is a beautifully narrated film and incredibly well acted by an extraordinary cast. Jacir is the emotionally charged story of a Syrian immigrant in Memphis, Tennessee living through a personal crisis of loss due to war. He is at the roots of a new life in the West, where he is met with the reality which at times means cruel rejection, frustrating loneliness, and corrupt social fragility. Jacir, though, chooses to live with authenticity, inspiring self-confidence and tremendous courage. Malek Rahbani boldly and outstandingly shines in his debut film, portraying an unforgettable and emotionally articulate Jacir. A film for everyone to watch, with it's soul-searching themes and as a great reminder of our own need for deep and real human connection.
A beautiful story told elegantly by incredible performances from the entire cast. Lorraine Bracco phenomenal as always. Malek Rahbani drew you into the story at every moment he was on screen.
This film tells a story of rebirth, our main character comes from a war torn country seeking a new life in the US, just to find himself dealing with the difficulty of inclusion within the American social community. Malek delivers a spectacular performance by expressing the hardships one goes through in life that any person could connect too.
This film is a great representation of the real life struggles immigrants go through seeking a new beginning.

This movie showcases the hardships and challenges that is an unfortunate reality in America. It was heartbreaking and inspiring and hopeful all in one.
Malek's performance demands the audience's appraisal as he navigates various emotional aspects of his role. He perfectly adapted his performance to the character himself which communicated seamlessly with the plot.
Additionally, while having some heartbreaking aspects, the idea of a found-family formed among the characters of Jacir and Meryl, and of course Jerome, brings a warming turn to the story.
(Side note, growing up with poor Middle Eastern representation in media makes this movie feel all the more rewarding) GO WATCH JACIR.
