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!

Good to see a movie that gives a motivational message to our youth.

It's a movie that I'm sure people can relate to in various ways from drugs, gangs, families, bad influences and most importantly religion and the role it plays. It was a movie that also had showcased morals and the importance of role models.

These topics in the movie may seem controversial but it's important for people to see these things and realise this is real.

Well done to the movie makers and actors.

Great to see movies like this being produced.

Thank you for the actors and producer for travelling to Australia and having a panel discussion to inspire the arts within the community.

The storyline is 10/10, touches on important issues that the youth face and the struggles one may have. I loved the dynamic Bilal and Abdullah have and the character development you see in Bilal, it provides hope for people out there who may be feeling like Bilal. Also the different inputs you get to see from characters like Jannah and Bilal's uncle is such a realistic way of showing how advice can impact you depending on who's giving it to you.

Overall, great film and hope to see more films like this in the future. Theres a lot of great stories in the Muslim communities that need to be heard.

The complexities of Purple's character is seen through our everyday lives being a first generation here in America and Muslim is a dual identity that often clash. This exceeded my expectations I thought it was gonna be a corny Islamic movie but this one is one for the books. The first of many. Boonaa...shocked us all by his ability to not only showcase himself with his words in poetry but also on the big screen. Like he said I hope films like this becomes a norm and we have a space to create and tell our stories! No longer being painted with a single brush of terrorism or pure violence. EVERYONE HAS TO SEEN THIS FILM 🎥 TAKE YOUR MOM , GRANDPA, SISTER, UNCLE, WHOEVER THIS IS A FAMILY FRIENDLY 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.
