I think the main purpose of a roadtrip film like this is to show both a geographical journey and the internal evolution of the characters along the way. But there doesn’t seem to be much meaningful change in either of the main characters, or at least one relating to their decision to go to syria. I thought at least they might change their mind and go home after witnessing other interpretations of islam.

it seems to me that the most interesting part of a story like this is the radicalisation itself and the isolation felt by the characters in the first place, which we only get snippets of.

nostalgic in a really painful way, i cant relate to being the only brown muslim in a majority white environment, but i did grow up in the uk nonetheless. i found moona and doe’s friendship to be heartwarming even if they both felt like home was so painful and purposeless to the point where they were undertaking a treacherous journey to a false reality. seeing doe’s flashbacks hurt and i really resonated with her struggling relationship with her mother. i found it really interesting how doe’s insistence on kindness/righteous within people can only occur if they’re muslim, had been challenged in her journey to syria. she makes constant references to whether the delays and arising problems in the journey might be god’s sign to turn back yet she still battles with this religiousness in her head. this was really great for nadia fall’s debut into the film indistry !! really recommend

Such a beautiful film and so great-full I got a chance to view it pre-release and meet the crew behind it but the one thing that kept me from fully indulging in the story is HOW DID THOSE 2014 PHONES HAVE SO MUCH BATTERY
