"Young director Muhammad Ali Iskandarov made an amazing film about the events taking place in Syria. This is an authentic drama that will bypass all film festivals." - said film director Rashid Malikov.[12]
"In turn, I watched almost two dozen short meters of young directors of Uzbekistan as part of the week of national cinema in Tashkent. And, as a person who has long been engaged in film education, he noted common problems with most works: with all the diligence and enthusiasm of the authors, the lack of dramatic training and visibility, knowledge of the world film context is very noticeable. These are the things without which it is impossible to create modern competitive cinema. From the full-length cinema, I want to note the film 'I'm not a terrorist', which quite confidently presents modern cinema in Uzbekistan", said Felix Krivosheev, Member of the Guild of Producers of Russia, founder of the First Online Film School.[13]
