I'll Meet You There

The story being told could be told a lot better. This movie is about a strong very secular young girl being dragged into religion and looking for answers in a religous book. When living your whole life secular it seems a bit week that the quran should make a difference in such a short time due a visit from a relative. acting is mediocre, plot very thin and can she even dance? The movie should bring out a stronger passion for dancing than it does

Just had a chance to watch Iram Parveen Bilal's latest production I'll Meet You There - Bismil.....What an awesome production and storyline. I am just speechless.....Iram outdid herself weaving the story between a father, daughter and grandfather so flawlessly while providing a fresh perspective on eastern and western culture. For someone who moved to States after spending their teenage years in Pakistan and have kids who were born in states can relate to so many moments in this movie. From the first scene to the last scene the movie kept me occupied and intrigued.....Kudos Iram, and all the actors, cast and folks behind the scene.....

For starters, this movie is less about dance and more about it as a plot device-which I loved! What are the moral compasses we follow, or assume we must follow at our intersectional living is the larger quest here. The director asks brave, pertinent questions of our society by challenging stereotypes and questioning what we have taken as absolutes. Especially love the casting of the cop dad!

See all those 10/10 reviews ? Click on the username. Notice how they all have maybe a few weeks of IMDb registration and only one review - this film. What level of confidence in their own product did the filmmakers have, if they had to pay for "sponsored reviews" ?

Frankly, I'll Meet You There is dead in the water because it commits the worst sin of filmmaking - it's boring. It's the boring story of an older father trying to cope with young liberalism, a theme that has been used far better in other films, and, it also thinks it's subtle, and clever, while in fact it's bland and boring. Did i mention it's boring?

If you fancy watching an "ethnic" film and want the same - but better - story, then the vastly superior Bend It Like Beckham should do.

My vote: 1/10 - get fake reviews, earn fake vote.

A truly touching story that gives a glimpse into life experiences I do not understand nearly enough.
