While its situations are more complex and less ham-fisted than those in many inspirational stories of reaffirmed faith, Mooz-lum...suffers from one-note characterizations.

Rated: 2.5/5

Sensitive performances smooth out the dramatic rough spots of this well-intentioned, racially-charged drama.

I cried because I saw pieces of my soul in a movie. It spoke to me; deeply. It's a movie that, on some level, I was thirsty for. And I hadn't realized how thirsty I was.

The film is worth seeing simply because of the phenomenal acting by the ensemble and a plot that will generate debate and interest once audience members leave the theater.

Rated: 3/4

Why is Nia Long's character wearing a hijab at home? Unless she was just about to step out. Too many stereotypes. Good script. It's annoying how strict some parents can be. It's not just a movie.

absolutely loved the message, the cast were fabulous and brought their characters to life. Really wish this would clarify many misconceptions about muslims as if opened my eyes.
