Alex Edelman in praise of Four Lions, 'the Muslim Blazing Saddles'

You'd think it would be offensive, and you'd never believe it'd get made, but the fact that it's done with so much love and so much pathos, it felt very warm and handmade and loving, and it just seemed like it was a perfect high-risk-maneuver satire.
