Jacir (2022)
Amazing Movie, Well Done
JACIR is an amazing film with both intense and suspenseful sequences interspersed with lighthearted comedic moments. A magnificent journey written and directed by Waheed AlQawasmi. Malek Rahbani, the lead actor, has surpassed himself with his expertly driven performance as Jacir. A story perfectly exposing the true hardships of what many thousands of immigrants face on a daily basis. Along his journey Jacir develops an unexpected bond with Meryl (actress Lorraine Bracco), an ultra-conservative, opioid-dependent who is afraid of immigrants and minority families in her community. Meryl continuously beat Jacir down, showing no sense of care for the lost sole. However, No matter how strained their relationship became, Jacir stood by this woman no matter what. He always believed it was the right thing to do. One performance worth also highlighting is Tutweezy's (actor Darius Tutwiler's), who plays Jacir's friend and coworker. Tutweezy's upbeat personality always brought a smile to my face. I believe the whole cast did a superb job in their roles. I felt that many of us can relate to JACIR, a lost sole just trying to fit into the world and manages to portray this perfectly on the big screen. Well-done. I highly recommended this movie to all types of viewers.
