Jacir (2022)
Phenomenal Performances

As a daughter of immigrants, this film gave me a deeper and tearful appreciation of the real life struggles my parents went through seeking a new beginning in search of the American Dream.
Malek Rhabani brought Jacir to life. The raw emotion he boldly delivered on screen touched me--from the pain of isolation, injustice and racism, to the compassion, kindness and humanity he showed to a woman (Lorraine Bracco) who frankly didn't deserve it. What a phenomenal performance!
Lorraine Bracco's performance elicited feelings of anger for her character's ignorance, but also pity and compassion. It was a reminder of the human connection that we all need.
What a beautifully acted film and labor of love.
