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.

The film is not particularly original. It tells the story of adolescence, first infatuation, conservative family, hypocrisy and slow maturation to gradual emancipation.

The film's biggest drawback is the extremely slow pace. For some viewers it may be too boring.

The film's greatest advantages include many quotes from poetry that perfectly illustrate the emotional state of more sensitive teenagers. There are also a few surprises in the film because many things are different than they seem at first. Some characters tell stories from the past, but each tells them differently. Maybe they are lying, maybe they remember their own truth.

The film is not bad (but not outstanding), but if you don't like slow pace and poetry then definitely avoid it.

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.

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.
