It was a beautiful film...but there were *two* stories. Sad that only one is shown. Especially sad since the two women's love story is missing despite the writer/director and the producer being lesbian themselves.
"Dear Shamim Sarif I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out and express my deepest gratitude for the impact your work has had on my life. Growing up in India, I struggled to understand my own sexuality, but seeing the beautiful relationship between you and Hanan Kattan, and learning about your journey together, was truly inspiring. Your openness and honesty about your relationship, despite the distance and cultural differences between us, helped me to understand and accept myself more. You both are my role models, and I admire the love and commitment you share. Thank you for being a hope and understanding. I will always be grateful.
I just discovered this movie this month and I'm speechless This is the first LGBTQIA I ever watched turn out is my favorite movie . Really inspired me in any aspect of life. You will learn a lot from this movie a highly recommend for anyone ❤️🥰🥰
How on earth this wasn't a kiss? Like huuuge disappointment, their chemistry was most palpable here in this scene, and it had to be interrupted by a man🙄
Absolutely touching moovie ,story between humans, women, individuals of different origins in a country where horror was,but landscape and differences ,love and courage,humanity ,love and respect made beauty
I loved this movie, it's like a "coming of age" movie, but the girls are already adults. For some, it may seem outdated, but I feel like there need to be more stories like this one to be told. Nowadays, we see so many series with young people who are well-adjusted sexually and romantically and with super understanding families. It feels more real when we see stories that are more down-to-earth about the reality of so many other people.

Polarized brings me here.thank you so much shamim & hanan❤it was such exellent and beautiful movie.I loved chemistry between Lisa and Dalia.I wish you make polarized season 2 or probably new movie for them(holly&maxine).thanks❤
alex is better than all these stupid typecast failed actresses. She’s working for ur company. It’s embarrassing that you’ve utilized her this little. She’s under contract with you. Our company is waiting until it expires.
Director cum Screenplay Writer Shamim Sarif has always created very beautiful lines of dialogues between the characters of her movies, the plots of her cinema productions are also very thoughtful and well structured. I adore her works (I can't think straight, The world unseen, etc.) with admiration ❤💕
