A gorgeous story of a young woman figuring out how to live within her own fire- with all the joy and perils of following its heat and light-- as her mother newly finds refuge in the heart of Islam and draws her onto its path. A bright and tender main character, beautifully portrayed by the actor, is caught in the dissonance between her new religion and the modern world of social media, and the end of her adolescence, with its equal longing for childhood acceptance and adult independence. This movie is sweetly human and quietly optimistic.
