    wrong movie title if you ask me

    About a girl transitioning into a muslim lifestyle after her mom converts to Islam. typical family drama that delves into relationships highlighting her insecurities, trials and tribulation.

    Don't know how to review this..

    This is not a simple story, well I guess it is, but it has so many subtle issues weaving in and out and the characters are so understandable and real and all living their real lives. I cried during the film, but not sure why.. maybe it made me feel for the trivial things that an adolescent girl was going through, through the eyes of that girl such that they were no longer trivial, but engulfing. Yep, there's Islam, but it is neither promoting nor derrogating it, nor even making a religious point.. just showing that we're all navigating our way through various thoughts and feelings. A beautiful cast, with acting that just fit the story effortlessly. So real and sensitive to the love that each of us bear in our heart. I'm sure the pace, filmography, score and acting all played into this brilliant subtle and touching film. I can't say at times it seemed slow, but it was just part of how we felt these people's lives. If Tyler Perry was an intellectual genius, and had an artistic film crew, maybe he could have made something similar to this, but really, this is a unique director who I'll look out for in the future. Thanks for the experience.

    A lot of story mistakes and loopholes

    The idea of the good but it was poorly executed. The story line of jade was good but almost everything else was played wrong. There is some contradictions and misinformation to the point where you can't defend the movie. I think the director/writer didn't know much information about the religion and or practices of it. If not it doesn't show on the story on this movie.

    You can't leave every mistake to fixed by the imagination of the viewer as there was many. If it was a few points here and there then sure, but that wasn't the case.

    The movie also is not clear on the main point that it was trying to send.
