Director Eyad Zahra teams with writer Michael Muhammad Knight for this drama about a Pakistani-American engineering student who falls in with a tightly knit group of Muslim punk-rockers. Attending school in Buffalo, NY, college student Yusef moves into a house occupied by Muslim punks, who introduce him to Taqwacore -- an emerging scene that's gradually gaining momentum across the country. The more Yusef learns about Taqwacore, the more he begins to question his own faith. This film is inspired by Knight's novel of the same name, which was originally distributed via free Xerox copies in true punk fashion. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An excellent, well-made and well-performed glimpse into a "subculture of a subculture". It's helpful if you know a few things about Islam, since some Islamic terminology and concepts occasionally show up in the story. But anyone who's ever been involved in any punk scene will be able to identify with these characters. Highly recommended viewing for misfits of all types!

I really didn't understand the meaning of this movie, but it was interesting. A group of Muslim punk rockers who defy the customs of their religion, but are still devoted.

Awful movie! I gained nothing what so ever from this movie. A real waste of time. Just my opinion.

All I can say is wow. I expected to be disappointed. I was so very impressed with this movie. It had an edge and an honesty that makes it well worth watching. Unless you refuse to acknowledge that there are other religions and many variations within each.
