      Leah Pickett Chicago Reader Despite the touchy subject matter, Syeed avoids preaching and instead focuses on the protagonist's day-to-day struggle; the understated drama benefits also from Yoni Brook's crisp cinematography and Abdirahman's multifaceted performance. Dec 15, 2016 Full Review Omer Mozaffar RogerEbert.com In addition to being a tender film about a man finding redemption in caring for a canine, Syeed's pious film is refreshing, showing us a corner of America that we never see. Rated: 4/4 Oct 21, 2016 Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times The substantial pleasures of the movie are supplemented by the gratification of seeing an emerging talent with concerns far outside the conventional indie realm asserting himself with such authority. Oct 20, 2016 Full Review Brooke Corso The MacGuffin A Stray, directed by Musa Syeed, is about the symbiosis of faith in God and in oneself. Rated: B+ Aug 1, 2017 Full Review Shirley Sealy Film Journal International A truly empathetic look at the immigrant experience in today's jittery American "homeland." Oct 20, 2016 Full Review Chris Hewitt St. Paul Pioneer Press It's a gem. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 20, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
