A truly touching story that gives a glimpse into life experiences I do not understand nearly enough.
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
Amazing outlook into another aspect of life in America. Intertwining Culture, Art, and Today's political angst all in one.
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!
Frustration, the battle between young and old, east and west, religions, culture, sexualism and sekularism in the pakistani ghettos in the urban environment of usa's chicago.
a girl want to dance, but that strikes against her granddads way of reading the quuran and living a pure life of islam, so its the battle set to justify her life and her dance.
its technically not a 8th wonder of the world, the editing aint steady and some scenes seems malplaced according to the way i read the plot. but its a low cost production, basicly made on pure will, and do send the message in a way that will provoke and disharmonate the socalled harmony. its also a finger pointed towards american suspiscion, counterterrorism and being a muslim living or trying to visit the freedom nation number 1.
the grumpy old man do see the the fist in their making, and may agree to the hypocritical critique against this and that. if youre in for the dance there aint much to see, but the danceuse do have a shining light of beauty in her. so a small recommend.
