...point of Smart People (which is directed by Noam Murro) is to return its anti-hero to something like civility, which is not exactly a startlingly original comic notion. Neither is its familiar academic setting, where so many mid-list novels are set. Indeed, we are told by Mark Poirier (who wrote the screenplay) that he originally conceived the story as a novel about university life, which I suppose somewhat limits its appeal to a mass audience.

Rahim, who wears a hijab headscarf, associates Wahhabism with the fully-veiled women she sees on the street who often refuse to return the greetings of Shi'ites. Two years ago, she says, her son Jafar came home from the Sunni-run Muslim National School and told her that his classmates had called him kafir, meaning infidel. Jafar, she says, was also taunted whenever a bomb exploded in a Shi'ite neighborhood...
