No speech here
therealljessemac23 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
" No speech here " no intention to confuse anyone but that's the idea of this movie the use of emotions and feelings, the viewer has to read meaning into the gestures of the actors.

The movie deals with an interracial relationship! But this relationship is platonic, it happens between a black man trapped in his own world, this changes after he encounters an Asian Muslim lady, he tries to adjust his ways, most visibly his dressing.

The black man lives his everyday life some how confused until he encounters the Muslim lady this is often the climatic point in this movie, she brings out the life in him as she is his other half she serves as a medium of happiness and excitement for the black man.

Despite the use of emotions and gestures to connect with the audience, the movie looses its touch on the way like a school child who can't find the way home although I must commend the daring effort of those who put this out it could serve as a modern example of an early era in film studies.

The actors actually do a great job although I believe that the role which was played by Johnny Jordan Jr. Should have actually been more emotional and method acting should have been employed in that role played by the actor, it creates a lacuna which would only be eliminated by an individual who desires to look the other way.

waste of time
dazebala19 January 2022
Not sure what is the real message or purpose of this movie!! An absolute hour of time wasted on a silent movie that had no purpose other than trying to further stereotype Muslim women as being oppressed by their husbands.

The whole plot can be told in a fifteen minute short film rather than the constantly repeated scenes.

I can only compare this movie to the latest Bruce Willes movies "it's a waste of time"

Waste of time
baraa_z8815 February 2022
Liberal stereotype of Muslims is all over this horrible movie.

Don't waste your time, I would rather watch paint dry.

The characters don't reflect the truth about the average Muslim woman.

Good watch
mailabhibh28 January 2022
Worth watching! A good message delivered in a dialog-less narrative! While the key actors did extremely well, in fact beyond my expectations, you cannot miss the perfection that has been delicately delivered by Sri. I am sure there are much more successes in store!

I love it
mikebgee19 January 2022
It's a powerful story of 2 worlds helping each other. Something "America" is supposed to be about right? I didn't need any words, the acting was great in itself.

Universe works in mysterious ways
zohamalikzm20 January 2022
Never lose hope. No matter which situation you are in. Powerful message which needs no words to explain. One of the best silent movies I have ever seen. Plot was speaking louder than all the unnecessary words all the corny movies has. Like rumi said: Everyone is tempted by the eloquence of speech, but I am the slave of the master of silence.

a must watch
fortenberrycurtis26 January 2022
Overall, a good movie. Important messages all throughout the film. It has been a long time since I have seen a movie this good. I'm actually going to watch it again later on this evening with the family. I had to review it first to make sure it was ok for my kids to see.

Holy Cow! Outstanding film!
amandacasaz3 February 2022

To bring the heart and soul of this message to the screen with a compelling cast, carefully selected images, messages on humanity, and a delightful soundtrack while keeping the wholehearted protagonist on a sustainable trajectory to be the hero in his OWN life, means this director/storyteller is a miracle-worker of his own kind.

BRAVO! Very excited to see how the awards will continue to stack up and afford this team opportunities to "tell us more" about who we ALL are on the big screen.

Silence is golden
shanthiprasadh-9993528 January 2022
Almost 30 years ago, there came a silent Indian movie called Pushpak (starring the great Kamal Hassan) and everyone said it was beyond its years. When I see this movie's reviews, I still think there's a certain section of movie lovers who don't get 'silent' movies. But, it's clearly an extremely well-made and a sensitive movie, which goes beyond any genres, nationalities or even cultures. The background score is top-notch and the title bgm is stuck In my head (where can I download this by the way?) Making an indie movie with limited cast, budget and resources is not an easy thing, but somehow the team pulled it off. Hats off! The world needs more sensitivity and I am glad such movies are being made. Bring them on!

Deep and Meaning full
htcreations-7996626 January 2022

This movie was very touching. The entire movie from the beginning all the way until the end grasp my attention. I have never watched a movie with no speaking but yet understood the message that was been delivered. Adam is defiantly a good actor. Hoping I can find more of his work because that guy is good.

Great Movie
ericaspencer-1263726 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was great. A lot of people try to stray away from certain topics that truly needs to be addressed. Hats off to the Director and Writer for going out on a limb and addressing problems that we face in the world today. You never know who you are helping through your work. The actors were amazing as well. I rarely give movies a high rating because I'm a very deep thinker and think too much into things, but I had no choice but to give this movie the stars it deserves.

OMG
ericajrussell26 January 2022
OMG!!!!! This movie was beyond good. I hope and pray that there will be a sequel because I would love to see what happens after the fact. I don't want to spoil the movie but if haven't seen it already what are you waiting on? So glad I brought it instead of renting because this is definitely going to be one of those movies I have on repeat.

Highly Intellectual
rajmanyogi27 January 2022
One of the best I have seen in the recent times. It takes deep understanding of life , cultures and movie making, to show such highly intellectual content in an entertaining manner. I wish to see more coming from this team.

Fabulously Executed
tpriyadarshini-144105 February 2022
I think it's the most beautiful feature film I have watched in a long time. It is such a heart warming story and the execution was spot on. Not a dull moment in the film at all. I now look forward to more of your work. This films is for those who have a finer understanding for life. There is a warmth in my heart that I cannot explain.
