Variety

First feature for director/co-scenarist Joel Fendelman is a middleweight drama that wears its modesty to its advantage, lending a potentially contrived tale a solid grounding in docu-style location capture and the protag's naive p.o.v.

David is honest and relatable, and ultimately triggers a response of tolerance and compassion.

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

Schematic but smart, and especially interesting in its telling details, as when Daud's bedside alarm clock goes off: Instead of music or a buzz or beep, we hear a muezzin's call to morning prayer.

Rated: 3/4
