The film strikes an unusual balance between a serious exploration of multicultural identity in Norway and a crude, comedic tone, compellingly juxtaposing these elements.
Mahmoud's edgy, sometimes jarring humor disrupts traditional narratives, offering a candid, humorous lens through which to view the nuanced challenges of multicultural integration and personal identity.
The film’s authentic representation of local minorities through Mahmoud’s perspective creates a relatability, despite its disregard for more sympathetic portrayals of serious subjects like transgender identity.
By portraying Mahmoud, a young Pakistani teen using crude humor amidst a serious narrative, the film challenges viewers’ expectations of representation and the exploration of identity.
