Featured review
"Sijjin" unfortunately did not resonate with me. As a Muslim, I found several aspects of the film deeply problematic.
Firstly, the poster itself felt off-putting, with imagery that leaned heavily into dark and ominous vibes. It didn't entice me to delve deeper, instead raising concerns about the film's potential disrespect for my faith.
Secondly, the inclusion of black magic as a central theme was a major turn-off. Black magic is strictly forbidden in Islam, and its portrayal in the film felt exploitative and sensationalized. This not only felt disrespectful but also inaccurate, failing to represent the true essence of Islamic beliefs and practices.
While I cannot speak for everyone, I believe "Sijjin" missed the mark in its handling of sensitive religious themes. It would have benefited greatly from a more nuanced and respectful approach to Islam, both visually and narratively.
