Nasar A @RT43897360 8h I'm not sure how to say this eloquently. You know the feeling you get when you look back on old pictures and videos of you/your family/your kids growing up realize, "dam, those were the days"? That warm "man, wish I could go back to that time in my life and just linger in that stage forever" feeling? Mustache is somehow able to bottle up that elixir and share it with us as you share in Ilyas's beautiful coming of age journey. From playing video games on the CRT TV in the garage (SNES for the win) during family parties, to football before dinner with friends, the grainy VHS tapes, the size too big puffy dress shirts, when youth was everpresent - I felt like I was reliving the best time of my life. Strongly recommend this movie for anyone that wants a reprieve from today's chaotic world and wants to experience bit of warm fuzzy feeling of their childhood.

It's a film about a Muslim kid, but is written in such a way that everyone who remembers their teenage years can relate to it. See more W B @RT36956754 3d I've been waiting all my life to see a film that represents me. Awkward, funny, a bit nostalgic, and wholesome. Cried, laughed, cringed, and all. See more Jibraan Q @RT43572484 3d We finally got a Muslim coming-of-age movie!! This is literally the type of story I’ve BEEN saying we NEED regarding our representation. And guess what? I went to the EXACT same school that the one in the movie is inspired by! I want Muslim characters who exist because their stories matter and Mustache is a story that matters. It’s a story that is very much for us, by us. See more Randa S @RT04685473 4d Brilliantly crafted! This coming of age movie resonated with my experience growing up caught between two worlds, and never feeling likely I truly belonged to either. Thank you Imran J. Khan for bringing this struggle to life with the perfect balance between soul and wit! See more Haaris A @RT28207695 4d Mustache hit surprisingly close to home for me. Growing up South Asian in North America, you become aware pretty early that certain things about your appearance can make you feel different. Hair, skin, facial features — things that are completely normal can somehow become insecurities when all you want to do is fit in. That’s what I loved about this movie. Beneath the Pakistani and Muslim experience is something incredibly universal: learning to be comfortable with how you look and, eventually, appreciating the things that make you different. It brought back memories of growing up, comparing yourself to everyone around you and caring way too much about how other people saw you. As you get older, you realize how much energy we spend trying to change or hide things that were never wrong with us in the first place. This movie is underrated and I recommend everyone to watch it!! See more Read all reviews
