Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 8/10 by Diana ClarkeThe Tainted Veil is a long conversation, wide in scope and geography, but nonetheless intimate.
NYC Movie Guru - 7/10 by Avi OfferA timely doc that opens up a lot of issues for post-discussion. You'll never look at a hijab the same way again.
New York Times - 7/10 by Ben KenigsbergThe subject matter makes The Tainted Veil much more visually interesting than many issue-oriented documentaries, though the thriller-like score goes too far in trying to counter dryness.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Martin TsaiThe Tainted Veil resists taking a stance, and both sides of the argument are compelling and persuasive.
The Daily Beast - 7/10 by Teo BugbeeIt might seem elementary, but as The Tainted Veil shows, religious garments are not an excuse to assume you know everything about a person.
Spirituality and Practice - 6/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA documentary on opinions swirling around Muslim women wearing the hijab.
Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Frank ScheckRambling and unfocused, The Tainted Veil fails to do justice to its important subject matter, which the film itself seems to acknowledge toward its conclusion.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Wes GreeneThe filmmakers refuse to promote a political agenda of their own in order to let the varied convictions of others foster a necessary dialogue.
