Storyline
Featured review
I'll preface this review by saying that I didn't go in "blind", as I had seen the trailer. I'll also say I saw this film with French subtitles, as I don't speak Farsi. I didn't glance away once from the film.
The plot of this film is unique and nothing like other recent Iranian films. This film doesn't deal with social issues head on, and instead has a subtle and unique plot.
I personally had no issue distinguishing between when Taraneh Alidoosti was playing Farzaneh and Bita/ Navid M. Playing Jamal/Mohsen, except for when Haghighi intended for there to be confusion.
The reason I gave this film 7 stars is because some of the behavior of the characters seems quite irrational, but just used to further the film plot.
I would suggest going in blind (not watching the trailer) before heading to the theater, so the first 20-30 minutes will also be a surprise.
