Muna, a single mother in Ramallah, has applied for a visa to the US. When it comes, her son Fadi, an excellent student, convinces her they should go. After an incident at customs begins their exile badly, they join Muna's sister and family in Illinois. Muna needs a job: although she has two degrees and 15 years' experience in banking, she settles for work at White Castle, telling the family her job's at a nearby bank. It's spring, 2003, and the US invades Iraq. While friends come from unlikely places, Fadi meets prejudice at school. How he'll respond to it and to American youth culture and how Muna will sort things out with her family are the rest of the story. Tragedy or hope?
Leave your thoughts about Amreeka.
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumAmreeka is strategically inviting and carefully mild even when making unsubtle points about Palestinian suffering and American insensitivity. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAmreeka is anything but a depressing digression on American wartime paranoia. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigThis slice of American life, as seen through the eyes of Palestinian immigrants, is nuanced, engaging and authentically observed. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonIt's one of the funniest and most perceptive films of the year. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA heartwarming film, not a political dirge. Much of this warmth comes from the actress Nisreen Faour. |
| Washington PostJan StuartAbetted by an observant cast, she (Dabis) navigates across politically and emotionally fraught terrain with a warming inflection of humor and a mother-hen's attention to the needs of all of her characters. |
| New York PostLou LumenickThis small gem takes a basically optimistic view about the struggles that generations of immigrants have endured. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisIt’s one of the richer movies you’re likely to see about average Arabs in America. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaFilmmaker Dabis based Amreeka on her own family's experiences in the rural Midwest during the first Gulf War. Although the drama heads on a predictable course, Faour brings intelligence and humor to her performance and Muallem, as the smart adolescent turned surly and scared, is likewise sharp. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyA kind of stealth political film that confronts issues of ethnic tension and American xenophobia. |
