Hala

While it is accurate for what it is like to be a teenage muslim girl it is rather mild. parents are usually much more strict than hers. however it still is a bit of an insight. anyone saying this is anti islamic must have some sort of agenda as it is not at all. however i don't think this movie shows anything new, is pretty tame and if anything pro islam. it is slow and somewhat dull. i can't really recommend it unless you have time to kill. it was a little shallow considering what they could have done with the subject matter.

All the actors are good, especially the lead actor and her mom. Music is brilliant.

In the end nothing was concluded or wrapped up. No solutions or reconciliation. The movie just sort of petered off into nothing.

Claims that this movie is islamophobic and stereotyping the religion and men as oppressive just aren't true. The story is about truth and the characters just happened to be Muslim. A pleasant movie to let your thoughts meander about identity, honesty and love. Better than it's rating suggests.

This is one of the most accurate portrayals of high school life I've ever seen in a film. On top of that, the characters are seriously compelling and the story is quite moving. I'd say it successfully accomplishes everything is set out to do.
