In the end nothing was concluded or wrapped up. No solutions or reconciliation. The movie just sort of petered off into nothing.
I had some expectations because of the good reviews, but the story fell flat and didn't go anywhere. The girl feels bound in religious customs forced by strict parents. The smart Asian girl gets admission into the college of her choice. She ditches the religious boundations. Oh, come on Minhal Baig! I have seen your other titles. You can de better than that. I am not denying the possibility of such a household in the country, but America needs a positive representation of Islam to break the mindset of a typical American of an Islamic family. Titles like Arranged by Diane Crespo and Stefan C. Schaefer would be much more appreciated.
The acting was well done but I was disappointed once again at yet another movie that tries to make Islam look oppressive and the Western way liberated. Can anyone make a decent film that doesn't portray this stereotype? Still waiting........
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.
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.

- PatzerIt is discussed in the beginning of the movie that Hala no longer uses school bus services. But then, there's one scene of Hala on a school bus fantasizing about Jesse sitting in front, but this could be a flashback.

Hala Masood: Do you know what you wanna say?
Jesse: [Starts to say something but stops. Then says something else] You are so intense. You don't just ask someone that right away. I mean that's like... that's like give me your credit card number,
[Hala cracks]
Jesse: you know. Social security and all your passwords.
Hala Masood: Don't say that.
Jesse: And your soul too while you're at it.
