LOVED IT ! a very deep movie. i love Asghari's work, he describes our people in such a great way, and it's not just about iranians the movie is very Universal that's why foreigners liked so much !

i heard a french commentator saying Ashghari is a director of "La nouvelle vague" .... i totally agree with him ! he is very goooddddd !besides that the actors are great too !!!

can't wait to buy the dvd !!

Its a great film.  Entertaining and moving.  Some comments here remind me of what we tell the kids: "taste it before saying akhhe".

Excellent Movie

by Orang Gholikhani on Fri Nov 18, 2011 11:20 AM PST

This is an excellent movie and Asghar Frahadi is a major director at same level as Almodovar or Felini. He is not only another "Iranian" director explaining Iranian issues. This story could be happend every where else , in US or in Europ.e

Of course people used to Holywood movies could avoid watching it.

The film isn't as great as

by Fesenjoon2 on Fri Nov 18, 2011 10:46 AM PST

The film isn't as great as they say it is. It has all the usual IRI ershadi stereotypes all over it:

The bad girl is the one who is rich, is hip (colors her hair) and is running away to khaarej because she is weak in morals and character. (ham tarsoo hast ham talaagh daareh migireh).

The good girl is chadori, is poor (mostazaf), works hard, is mazloom, and is god fearing.

I would give it 3.5/5. Not bad, but not so stellar either. 

Maybe I should write a blog about this.

This film will win Oscar

by kazem0574 on Fri Nov 18, 2011 09:35 AM PST

Its a fantastic film and has been receiving awards from all over the world.

Highly recommended to watch.

Everyone is talking about it in film circles and ordinary people who have seen it are very touched by it. 

The story and how its enacted took me by surprise, never expected Iranian actors to be able to produce such intricate emotions in the way they do in this film.
