Cutting Through Rocks

Watched at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.

Discussions about the harsh realities for women in Iran aren't a brand new subject as many documentaries have been explored before within the past. However, this documentary still remains us about the troubles women face in the Middle Eastern landscape and how they navigate themselves through their troubles and conflicts. Presented with good camerawork and participant discussions, you feel for the individuals going through the conflicts as if you are being in their shoes. Wanting to see them succeed and go through the journeys without turmoil or further troubles.

Alongside with some good musical score and presentation, the realism and social aspects are well done. Despite some pacing issues, I did once again, enjoy a good humane experience.
