5/10
Headcovering

Warning: Spoilers
They are wearing headcoverings at home because the camera is there filming them to be seen by the public. I needed a better ending. It had the mean girl, parents blaming each other, girl mad at the world self destruction thing going on. Can't believe it was students that caused the revolution given how controlled this teen was portrayed you'd think youth were not allowed any agency at all and expected to be obedient to parents. Perhaps it's the dominance of that particular generation? It was a very relatable story. It could have been set anywhere. There were a few scenes don't too artsy. It was okay that you could only their we their backs playing. But a few scenes were just blurry.

Canada doesn't believe in giving VISAs to people they think will overstay. That was the reason they gave to refusing the visas for two 17/18 actresses in the film. Why throw words like xenophobia? This constant bombardment of buzzwords with no thinking behind it is offensive to actual xenophobia. The Iranian director has no issues traveling to the US around the same time. The First Lady of the US was an immigrant and recent citizen. The US and Canada have a high percentage of foreign born citizens in each country. There are over a billion Muslims and not just from five or six countries.
