Leave your thoughts about Mooz-lum.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasHaving created rich roles for his actors, Basir elicits from them inspired portrayals. Well-crafted in all aspects, Mooz-lum is not only rich in nuance, but also an engrossing entertainment made with skill and passion. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonEvan Ross impresses with an implosive performance as Tariq Mahdi, a moody young African-American. |
| Reel ReviewsFrank WilkinsPoignant, relevant, and often quite moving in its characterizations. |
| The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe clash of cultures isn't exactly groundbreaking but Qasim "Q" Basir's feature debut is told through the eyes of a young, black American Muslim, a perspective that has rarely been seen. |
| New York TimesAndy WebsterWhile its situations are more complex and less ham-fisted than those in many inspirational stories of reaffirmed faith, Mooz-lum...suffers from one-note characterizations. |
| Village VoiceMichelle OrangeSolemn, unsubtle, and terminally self-conscious. |
| User ReviewJamal BAmazing movie with true meaning and gripping scenes. |
| User ReviewAshley KI thought that it contrasted fundamental islam with a more modern islam... sometimes it is easy to view this religion through one lense, but the reality is that is has many faces and it was good to see each represented. |
| User ReviewTaiba NThis is what most of the Muslim children go through. |
| User ReviewHadiatu DGreat Movie!!!! One that everyone can identify with because it is not for just one race or religion. Everyone needs to support so that it can reach more markets weekly. |
