Ma hameh khoubim

While 'We Are All Fine' starts a bit slow and with bad acting, it evolves into a touching and heart-filling picture that leaves you with applause for the director and screenwriter.

This is best accomplished by the one-to-one interaction of each character and the audience through a hand-held video camera. Each character ends up in front of this camera delivering what seems to be an improvised delivery of their true emotions and frustrations. This mixing of 35mm footage and the hand-held video is what makes the movie a combination of a blog, an auto-portrait, and a voyeuristic penetration into other's hearts and minds.

Amid a portraiture of emotions and dysfunctional interactions of a family, you could also glean some of the problems of the young generation in Iran: love, unemployment, the desire to set free and leave the country, family ties, etc. Though, it is much less about these than about a good composition of emotions that comes through.

It is truly well done (although it has its shortcomings that should be overlooked) and a must-see.
