I'll Meet You There

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

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.

Iram Parveen Bilal tells an important and beautiful story. The film follows Majeed, a Muslim Chicago police officer, and his daughter Dua, an aspiring dancer who are well integrated in the American culture. Their world changes after the unexpected arrival of Majeed's more traditional father Baba and when Majeed is asked to go undercover at the mosque his father Baba is attending. There's so much in this indie movie: the Islamic culture, which has so many fascinating aspects, a universal story of how we all deal with family relationships and a touching parallel between dance and life. Rumi's quote melts your heart and makes you realize how, beyond our life experiences and backgrounds, we all are one.

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.....

Great work. I think everyone should watch this. It has subtle messages and also a reality for many first generation immigrants torn between old and new life. Ending was bold and real
