Audience Member I just couldn't get into this film. I finally turned it off about halfway through after it seemed like nothing ever happened. It was interesting to see the main characters navigate the Turkish-speaking areas of northwestern Iran, but that wasn't enough to keep me interested. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Love the car as viewpoint, at one point the reflection of the mountainside bush in the half rolled up window. Beautiful color palette in mountainous villages of Iran: tan, gold, blue. Loved the billowing wraps the women wore. Great moments of tension and relief: the initial scene, 3 men approaching the car at night, hulking brother with a large stone in his hands. One could say the entire movie was a relief. Wonderful scenes of village hospitality, customs, and life, "They're doing something there," unique images--the lighted eternal abode for instance. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member A very gentle, slow moving, observational story that has an intriguing premise. The movie is more about the cultural aspects of the people that the main characters interact with on their journey to helping the young girl who triggers the journey. The acting is calm and understated and it is photographed almost as if we are just there watching as the events unfold. Behnaz Jafari is actually a famous actress in Iran and Jafar Panahi is an actual director who has was banned from making movies for 20 years in Iran due to a number of controversial films he made (controversial for Iran, I assume). The movie is filmed in a remote part of Iran that his parents come from. The movie won Best Screenplay at Cannes in 2018. If you are happy to be patient with a movie that moves along slowly and subtlety, it's worth a look. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow journey through the tradition and customs of the Iranian countryside, with various commentary on differences and history. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review dave d Jafar Panahi co-wrote, directed and stars as himself in '3 Faces', an Iranian film that worked for me until the third act. I watched this with wife on a Hubby Wife Date Night and she felt the same way which makes this review much easier to construct. It's beautiful and the story is alluring, but once the reveal happens we're not left with much more. The problem is there's another 40 minutes of movie and what was once a cohesive and hypnotically beautiful film, becomes a slog. Perhaps the final act will work for you, but for us not so much! Hubby 6.6/Wife 6.0 Average Final Score: 6.3/10 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Quizá para los que vivimos en tercer mundo no impacta mucho y puede resultar aburrida ya que no es nada muy nuevo. La historia es interesante y, desde su sencillez, esta bien narrada, pero a la final no resulta cautivante. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
