- Mariyam (on Video & DVD)
- A gripping movie, Mariyam follows a young Iranian-American teenage girl
(Mariam Parris) living in New Jersey in 1979, whose devout Muslim cousing
Ali (David Ackert) comes to the U.S. to study. As Mariyam grapples with the
typical high school pressures like dating and catty rivals, tensions between
Ali and Mariyam's father (Shaun Toub) spring from a dark family secret. When
hostages are taken at the American embassy in Iran, prejudice flares up,
throwing Mariyam's life into turmoil. The story of Mariyam manages to take
the crises of adolescence and socio-political conflict and make both equally
vivid. Writer-director Ramin Serry skillfully grounds the culture clash
between Muslim fundamentalism and conventional American morality in everyday
concerns, capturing an historical moment with details that resonate
powerfully. The entire cast is superb; Parris's compelling presence keeps
the movie's issues immediate and personal. Mairyam is a remarkable,
emotionally engaging film..
A Superb
Film.
