Mo is not only really funny but also really smartly done. He takes us on a journey thats relatable universally and also made me feel so seen as a Palestinian Arab American. I won't give away a spoiler but as a Palestinian it was also heartwarming to see the subtle and very clear ways his identity plays into the art work, the stage, the stories, the message - all around he does a phenomenal job of balancing on the very thin tight rope people have to balance on when discussing the things he discussed. He is also a great story of someone who makes it through extreme hardships and circumstances and it's great to see how he pokes fun at the very real hardships faced by refugees and Americans.

I watched this movie as part of a movie night. I read so many psychology books and thought I learned about all the depths of my trauma, this helped me see how some wounds are really deep and why. It was extremely educational and broke things down in an understandable way. It provided valid commentary on today's society and how learning about these topics, addiction and trauma, not only requires knowledge and education but also compassion. It was a great watch and I'm grateful that someone in our group recommended it. Gabor's work in general is consistent and spot on. A true humanitarian and he cares about our future .
