Amira & Sam (2014)
1/10
White washed brown woman with bad wardrobe. How creative.
17 December 2014
This movie is nothing more than a white washed westernized version of Muslim women that real Muslim women reject venomously. Does the costume designer have any knowledge of Islam at all? Do they realize the terrible and i mean TERRIBLE accent the actress that portrays Amira have? Did they ask her to make the most condescending vague brown person accent and run with it? I'm so ashamed of this film. I was introduced to it by Paul Wesley and figured he was a respectful actor and wouldn't be in something this tragically horrible. I was wrong. So very wrong. 0/10, would not recommend. If you want to make a film about Muslims, please find Muslims who actually know about the religion. If you want to make a film about an Iraqi, ask an Iraqi. Hell, I'm both an Iraqi and a Muslim, i would have been glad to offer some insight so this trash would not be produced.
