This film had some pot holes, but it was still cute. The boys relationship is very sweet at times, even when they fight.

In my work, I've seen over a thousand teen films, and it's been heartening how many recent examples explore LGBTQ+ youth. Most of them (like this one) deal with family, and some (unlike this one) deal with school, but few take on concerns about religion, and none that I know of have featured gay teens within a Muslim context.

For a low-budget on-location film, there is a lot to appreciate, such as the creative cinematography and the attention to local details. Sure, the acting can be a bit clunky, and a subplot with an FBI agent is rather overblown, but the story feels real, with these young men trying to navigate their attraction to each other, the attitudes of their Muslim cohort, and their treatment by American society.

It does not cohere into a Grand Statement on young Black gay Muslim culture, which is perhaps why some people are disappointed in the ending. Rather, we see literally one day (albeit an eventful one) in which two distinctive and otherwise unseen characters face their adult future, and such a vision is worthy of your attention.

I saw that this movie is about black Muslim gay guys and I thought that it will all be about how super oppressed they are. Actually the word "oppression" is mentioned in the 3rd minute of the movie as a part of a joke made by one of the characters.

But the movie wasn't even about that. I mean they probably tried to make them looked oppressed by FBI and police when they were asked some simple questions after having a talk with an undercover cop about buying a gun and one of them gets a ticket when breaking the rules, but I saw nothing wrong or oppressive about the cops behavior.

Their homosexuality makes them a target of their own families. But this also isn't explored as we really don't get to know anything about their families or their behavior and actions towards homosexuality.

Actually we didn't get to know much about main characters as well. Just that they are gay and spend all the time selling some useless stuff on the street. So yes, a movie about nothing with nothing important happening
