The Queen of My Dreams Christian Review
The Queen of My Dreams… this film feels as if someone has opened their heart’s diary and pasted it on the screen. In every scene, there is a feeling as if a page of someone’s emotions is silently unfolding. It is emotional, yes, but not just tearful- it is dreamy too. A little real-world stress, and a little dream city-like softness. Fawzia Mirza has directed it, and the story is of Azra- a Pakistani Canadian girl who is drowned in grief after her father’s death, and her connection with her mother… meaning, it is a little tangled. You get it, right?
As the story progresses, it slips into flashbacks. Sometimes to Mummy’s young days – in the streets of Karachi, amidst colour and freedom – and sometimes to Azra’s childhood – entangled in Canadian snow, that loneliness amidst snowflakes and cold wind, and a little wonder too.
Now if you look at it through a Christian lens, the feelings seem a little mixed. Grief, identity, and reconciliation – all these topics touch the heart. The tension between the mother and daughter also shows a space for forgiveness and understanding. Spiritually, certain things also enter under the skin – like that thirst inside a human being, the search for a place… the feelings of belonging.
But there is another side too. The film explores some topics that can clash with traditional Christian beliefs. Like Azra being honest about her sexuality – she’s a lesbian. And this is not a side thing. This is the emotional core of the whole story. Her struggle with herself, and her confrontation with her culture… everything is built on this. So if you look from a strictly Biblical viewpoint, then this part can shock you a bit. Honestly.
The style of the film is also not straightforward. It has that Bollywood a little sparkle-a little dream type flair. There is a fusion of fantasy and reality… sometimes it seems you have entered a memory, sometimes a dream. Emotions are deep, but clear moral or spiritual clarity seems a little faded. There will be no classic redemption arc. But a raw, vulnerable truth is definitely felt—about love, loss, and who-am-I type questions.
For Christian viewers this film can be a window to look at the world from a new perspective. Just don’t think that the film will give you direct spiritual or Biblical truth. But if you watch with an open heart and a prayerful lens, you will find some moments that shake you to the core. But yes, if you are expecting the film to be a straight Bible-affirming one, then maybe this isn’t it.
The rating is PG-13, which was expected. Some strong language, direct talk about sexuality, and the themes are also quite heavy. So it would be better for families to watch with a little caution.
In the end, this film is an experience. Everyone may like it—not necessarily. But if you like such layered stories dancing between culture-emotion-identity… then yes, give it a watch. It sits quietly with you, long after the credits roll.
