The film presents well visually, though it wasn't particularly engaging. I think it would have been stronger if it had concentrated solely on Sam’s experience as a soldier readjusting after the war, similar to 'The Messenger' from 2009. Amira’s character felt somewhat manufactured, especially given the current social climate, seemingly intended to highlight societal issues. Unfortunately, this didn’t resonate with me; however, I did appreciate certain aspects, such as Amira’s development throughout the story. Martin Starr delivered a strong performance, which is what made it worthwhile watching. Some viewers might find appeal in its straightforwardness, but the writing could have been better. The film attempted to address numerous themes—Wall Street, an unemployed veteran, immigration—within 90 minutes, yet the romantic storyline lacked authenticity. As I mentioned, the two main characters felt forced together to draw attention rather than to depict a genuine romance. It shares similarities with 'Learning to Drive,' which sought to illustrate cultural differences and how they can hinder a developing relationship. This won’t be everyone's cup of tea; even viewers from Middle Eastern backgrounds might find some scenes portraying Amira problematic. Still, those were the moments I found most compelling, making it only worth seeing once. _4/10_
