Review of Jinn (2018) by Jared Mobarak for The Film Stage — 15 Nov 2018
At a time when Islam has become weaponized as a synonym for ISIS, we need glimpses at its positivity and humanity. That doesn’t mean Mu’min sanitizes things (a lot happens that could reinforce reductive stereotypes of social conservatism and familial oppression), only that she’s creating healthy representations at once relatable, laudable, and flawed.
Nothing is black and white.
