Purple Don't Cry

A great movie to inspire young children and to warn them about the dangers of the streets. I would recommend the film to anyone. It was inspirational, heart warming, and based off Boonaa Mohammad's life. It was amazing to watch and hope to see more of these types of films to help the youth. I even learnt from this film and am realizing that really anything could happen to you. The contradiction and confusion going on with purple is how life really works. Even though purple has everything to be a good person, he is put in a sticky situation and a hard environment to truly be the best person he could be. This was a truly amazing film!

This has to be one of the best movies of the year. With amazing performances from all the actors, this is an inspirational movie especially people who are faced with challenges in life while growing up. I would recommend people to watch this movie to get a feel how young men fell prey to gansgters on streets and end up ruining their lives. Althought based on a true story, the movie manages to remain eye catching and interesting till the very end. And the best part is you can watch with your family, since it has so many takeaways and lessons to be learnt. I would love to watch this movie again.

I thought this movie was brilliant. The message was powerful and impactful. I thought the plot was simple, yet effective. Bilal's acting was incredible. Overall loved the experience and I look forward to a new door being opened for many more inspirational Islamic movies. My favourite part of this experience was watching how Bilal evolved from being so adamant on the concept of "money, power, respect", to understand that there are more meaningful and fulfilling ways to live life. Many youth can related to the plot and it serves as a reminder to always put God first, prioritize family, and halal earnings.

Purple Don't Cry cleverly embodies the elements and expectations of a modern crime film without the use of profanity, music or any steamy content. I thoroughly enjoyed the film with my family and was fortunate to meet the friendly and passionate stars of the production at the premier in Sydney, NSW. My family and I were taken away by the creativity of the piece in portraying such a common and familiar narrative all of which being suitable we felt for a younger audience. As a father, I was grateful to share discussion with my children around the storyline and together we drew out many lessons that we believe should be taught to children as they ascend into the various circumstances that is life. The cast and acting was beyond expectation from a budget film and I believe that Purple & Bilal are two characters that we will collectively remember in the peaks and troughs of our own personal journeys. We highly recommend Purple Don't Cry. It is a must watch for all and especially for families with youth. We are looking forward to more creative pieces from this talented crew. Very well done!

Important messages for the Muslim youth captured in an engaging and relatable way. This film is a must watch for anyone in the muslim community. Good for the whole family, this film follows Bilal, a misguided young man who gets into trouble with the streets. He meets Purple, who is a sort of mentor but is also caught up in the world of drug dealing. I thought Purple's character was so interesting and complex - he is a walking contradiction. Bilal learns a lot through the duration of his journey and has to choose the life he wants to live. I liked the representation and authentic muslim voices echoed throughout this film.
