Wissenswertes
Zar Amir Ebrahimi was initially involved in the film only as a casting director, but was cast as the lead after an actress became fearful of acting without hijab and dropped out of the role at the last minute. Amir-Ebrahimi had auditioned around 50 actresses for the role she would go on to claim. Director Ali Abbasi originally wanted someone boyish, more strong physically for the role of Rahimi, as he saw her as being very young and inexperienced, and really eager to prove herself, and he thought Ebrahimi was too soft and mature to play the character he had in mind. But when he saw Ebrahimi use her life experience to remind him that desperate people make dangerous choices, his vision shifted and she was cast. Ebrahimi's performance was acclaimed and she won the Best Actress award at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.

Absolutely brilliant!

The movie beautifully portrays the injustice that women face in Iran, and how corrupt the justice and jurisdiction system is. I used to live in Iran as a child and I remember the how terribly people were being treated in the name of "Allah and Islam". To me, this movie was extremely thrilling because it resurfaced some of my childhood traumas, and that tells me how relatable and well made this movie is. The actors and actresses were absolutely amazing. Making a movie outside of Iran about inside of Iran is not easy. I can't imagine how difficult it was for the actors and actresses get mentally prepared for their roles and get in character, since they all have been living outside of Iran for a long time. Most interesting movie of the year!
