This black-and-white "direct cinema"-style documentary tenderly and sensitively chronicles scenes from the lives of a small set of interconnected individuals in urban New Jersey. The editing is masterful, and the film deftly prompts empathy and compassion for its characters without pitying them. Religious belief and practice are front and center throughout, but they are treated with a respect and a restraint all-too-rare in modern filmmaking. A highly rewarding and worthwhile film, strongly recommended.

Beautiful piece of work examining the unexamined. Great movie for a movie night / discussion group as it is thought provoking.

One of the most poetic portrayals of Muslim Americans I've ever seen. So refreshing to see stories about Muslims that have nothing to do with current events.
