The heart-wrenching journey of Lady Fatima, the daughter of Prophet Muhammad. Separated by 1400 years, an Iraqi child, in the midst of a war-torn country at the hands of ISIS, learns the importance and power of patience. After losing his mother, the child finds himself in a new home, where a loving grandmother narrates the historical story of The Lady and how her suffering as the first victim of terrorism spun out of control into the 21st century.

In its preaching, though, Eli King's film adopts a plodding conventional manner — a Muslim equivalent of the style used by most biblical movies, with all the dialogue in English.

2/5

For a film that aims to promote religious diversity and freedom of thought, its metronomic alternation between time frames, narrative slavishness and laughable coda have a suffocating sense of orthodoxy.

A shoddy script and an overwhelming reliance on clichés... make this would-be blockbuster feel incredibly cheap.

The filmmaker gives half a shout-out for his Islamic religion to go the non-violent route.

This movie contains many historical inaccuracies. Moreover, the casting is blatantly racist. They picked black actors as the villains for sinister reasons. Abu Bakr and Umar were elite Arab men from the same tribe as Ali. So, if Abu Bakr and Umar were black, then so are Ali and Fatima. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Beautifully made film about the devotional nature of islam, as in the story of Lady Fatima, and how that story inspires people to go a good way, not the way of destruction and war
