Ben Kenigsberg New York Times As the movie trots through Europe and the Middle East, academics and clerics weigh in on the hijab's purpose and scriptural basis. Some interviewees note its changing use over time. Dec 10, 2015 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Rambling and unfocused, The Tainted Veil fails to do justice to its important subject matter, which the film itself seems to acknowledge toward its conclusion. Dec 9, 2015 Full Review Diana Clarke Village Voice Some of what the interviewees say will be offensive, no matter your point of view. Go and listen. Bring a friend so you can keep the discussion going after the credits roll. Dec 8, 2015 Full Review Teo Bugbee The Daily Beast It might seem elementary, but as The Tainted Veil shows, religious garments are not an excuse to assume you know everything about a person. Sep 25, 2017 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru A timely doc that opens up a lot of issues for post-discussion. You'll never look at a hijab the same way again. Rated: 7/10 Dec 13, 2015 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A documentary on opinions swirling around Muslim women wearing the hijab.
