Americanish

This romcom follows the lives of three women navigating the different meanings and expectations of love as they try to stay true to their own identity. This is an upbeat film and while formulaic, one still looks forward to how things will play out for each in the end. I loved it!

The movie was a lighthearted take on very relevant issues faced by immigrant families especially from the south Asian diaspora. I enjoyed the story line, the comic relief and the women empowerment in the movie! Great job!

Americanish beautifully portrays a range of experiences among Muslim-American women in a contemporary world. The film demonstrates that Muslim women are not a monolith, despite often being represented as such. All three of the leading women are driven and persistent in pursuit of their differing goals. By highlighting these differences, the film challenges the harmful stereotype of Muslim women as universally oppressed and devoid of agency. The film is so funny and enjoyable, but also poignant and filled with deeper meaning. I was rooting for Sameem, Ameera, and Maryam from beginning to end! It was a joy to watch and I can't recommend it enough.

This film was so cute and entertaining while still tackling current politcal problems. We need more films like this. It's not my culture and I'm so glad to have the opportunity to get a peek into other people's lives and cultures.

Too much of Hollywood has been about only white people for way too long. The world has more to offer and well-written and well-directed movies like this should become commonplace.

Great job to both the actors and production team. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys fun rom-coms. My spouse loved it too.

I can't wait to see what this director makes next.

This passion project offers a window into the modern Pakistani American experience in the guise of a rom-com. Immigrants and people looking to make life better for themselves and their families will be able to relate to these stories of three women looking for fulfillment.
