“Signature Move not only finds better language to talk about ethnocentrism and coming out, but to portray the lesbianism as a whole. It lets vibrant, lesbian womanhood exist in a way that often gets polished away for straight audiences - it's sweaty, awkward, funny and upologetic. Even if you're not interestd in the film for its aforementioned contributions to queer South Asian cinema, watch it because it's extremely well made." - Roni Simunovic, Geist

“A queer love affair that crosses cultures..." - Lena Singer, Chicago Mag

Grand Jury Prize: Best U.S. Narrative Feature - Outfest Los Angeles
Best Direction (Jennifer Reeder); Best Actress (Fawzia Mirza) - Film Out San Diego LGBT Film Festival

Zaynab, a thirty-something Pakistani, Muslim, lesbian in Chicago takes care of her sweet and TV-obsessed mother. As Zaynab falls for Alma, a bold and very bright Mexican woman, she searches for her identity in life, love and wrestling.
