Layla is an 18-year old girl, born and raised in Amsterdam. Layla is smart, witty and stubborn - and of Moroccan background. In the times of constant terrorist threat, she struggles with the increasing suspicion towards girls with headscarves and boys with beards that she witnesses every day. While her frustration grows, her faith intensifies. Eventually, she joins a group of Muslims who fight for their practice of Islam. Layla posts films online depicting the horrors in Syria and Gaza and makes political flyers. And she flirts with the charismatic Abdel. When her peaceful brother and she are arrested by the police, Layla, feeling hurt and isolated in her anger, more and more in conflict with her parents, is left with only one option: to leave home. She chooses marriage, with Abdel. After their wedding, Layla and Abdel roam the country together, perform 'missionary work', and raise money for the good cause. But after they narrowly escape a raid by the Belgian police on a group of young jihadists, they have to flee, to the Middle East. Layla encounters a world that nurtures her ideas initially, but finally confronts her with an impossible choice.
Leave your thoughts about Layla M..
| We Got This CoveredDavid JamesWhip-smart and astonishingly empathic, Layla M is a convincing hypothesis on the attractions and illusions of Islamic terrorism. |
| Cinema ScopeAngelo MureddaThere's a believable, shopworn naturalism to the performances, and a particular spontaneity and vibrancy to El Koussour. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreGay coming-of-age stories are common enough these days, but Moonlight finds a new perspective, a new setting and a compelling new filmmaking voice to tell that story. It’s one of the best pictures of the year. |
| The Daily DotEddie StraitIt's a stark reminder that some of the worst choices we can come from universal places of injustice and alienation. |
| DeciderJoe Reid... the filmmakers do a rather great job getting the audience to understand their lives and minds and often their hearts. |
| New York TimesGlenn KennyA brisk, involving film that depicts "radicalization" from a humanist angle while applying proper consideration to the political and cultural currents from which such transformations stem. |
| User ReviewLucas BNo editorial in this film. No matter where you stand on the subject matter, you will be impressed with the impartiality of the effort. Love how the movie ends with a question mark of sorts. Nice effect. |
