Kate Muir The Times (UK) 04/21/2017
2/5
There are some funny scenes, including a blind date in a caf with the brother of a veiled woman who is not allowed to speak for herself, but the comedy often falls flat in a simplistic script. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 04/20/2017
1/5
The cast are lumbered with a bafflingly lame and leaden script and plodding direction that wouldn't pass muster for TV in a thousand years. Go to Full Review Ellie Walker-Arnott Time Out 04/18/2017
2/5
Feelgood, but a little flimsy. Go to Full Review Louise Burrell One Room With A View 03/05/2019
2/5
The sad thing is, the cast genuinely give it their all, but the flabby script and lack of direction let them down. Even the editing, which should be so smooth it goes unnoticed, is poor - with lingering shots after the characters move out of view. Go to Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher 04/21/2017
2.5/5
There's lots to like in this mostly sweet British Muslim rom-com. Pity, then, that it tries too hard, instead of trusting its characters, and sabotages itself. Go to Full Review Trevor Johnston Radio Times 04/20/2017
2/5
While refreshing to see the British Muslim community represented in everyday life, ultimately a comedic love story with low-wattage romance and few chuckles has limited appeal. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

04/27/2017 This is a standard rom-com but from a community that doesn't often get to be heard. It has plenty to recommend it and is light, well acted and pleasant. It could have focused more tightly on the central characters and would then have been excellent in its genre but its still a nice watch. See more 04/16/2017 Brilliant movie,Brilliant Production See more 04/16/2017 Absolutely amazing film by British Muslim TV. Realistic and relatable. Whirl wind of emotion. Funny all the way through 100% recommend! See more 04/16/2017 Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! See more 04/11/2017 The film falls with clunky, unrealistic dialogue which doesn't flow, flat characters with no development and flesh, and a weird use of sound mixing that just lets down the production value of the film. Only saving grace is the chemistry of the two lead actors who we don't see together enough as the film decides to focus on one-dimensional supporting and minor characters. See more 04/08/2017 Really good fun - a lighthearted story with a proper British style and humour throughout ?? See more Read all reviews
