But I do get Doucouré, I think, as someone who was damaged similarly by a repressive conservative culture, and who's pretty fucking pissed that the religious conservatives are riding this moral panic to another victory in the culture wars I totally get why she did it this way

One of the reasons the moral guardians came after her for being a degenerate was her saying in early press for this movie that her feelings remained "mixed" about this issue That this movie was partly a response to her mom, who is still the mom in this movie

That *still* at the age of 35 her mom calls her up and gives her shit about not wearing hijab, about wearing skirts that are too short, about "dressing like a whore" She wouldn't say this, but I do get the feeling this movie is a big "FUCK YOU MOM, THIS IS WHAT IT WAS LIKE"

Like she's about my age and we didn't have TikTok and smartphones and so forth when we were Amy's age But even so, there was some fucking shit going down among preteens in the 90s You just want to shake them and say "You didn't protect me from jack fucking shit"

The scene where Amy is fucking practicing twerking when she's supposed to be praying and nobody can tell because her hijab covers her whole body Which people called needless blasphemy and trolling No, it's the whole point of the whole movie in one visual metaphor
