Layla M.

Best Movies on Netflix for March 2018
2016’s Dutch drama, Layla M. tells the story of Layla, a young Islamic woman living in Amsterdam who is subjected to Islamophobia. Over the course of the movie, viewers go through the highs and lows of Layla’s tumultuous life, including her journey away from her family and home. It’s an interesting premise, but one that is brought to life thanks to the incredibly believable performance of lead Nora El Koussour.
A quick word of warning, the film isn’t entirely in English, with chunks of the dialog in Dutch and Arabic. If you’re not a fan of subtitles, this may not be a watch for you. If you can get over this, Layla M. tells a hard-hitting tale of a young woman’s radicalization, and the problems that come with it.
