Audience Member the writing was on point. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Fireworks Wednesday is yet another stellar work by Farhadi. His great empathy and respect for people is reflected in his writing (credit also to co-writer Haghigi) and his delicate direction. These people are trying valiantly to maintain some order in a chaotic, war-ravaged country; expressed throughout by the constant sounds of guns and fireworks going off. We feel the shaken out of sorts essence of Mozhde, the faithful wife who believes her husband is being less than so. The gruff, intense Morteza is easily angered. But why? Enter the happy, glowing bride-to-be Roohi, who becomes tangled in this mess of a couple falling apart. The dialogue is exceptional as well, as we hear neighbors talk to/about neighbors, employer to the employed; customer to shop owner; and suspicions are confirmed- all with such naturalistic manner, mixing formal, informal, and the occasional humorous. Excellent acting by the great Hedye Tehrani as well as Alidoosti, Farokhnezhad and Bahram. 3.7 stars Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review nefasto r Every single Asghar Farhadi's script is magnificent, and this is no exception. It is like to spy on real people with real stories: it is impossible not to feel for them, not to be involved. And the actors, especially the actresses, do an amazing job bringing the story to life. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Another brilliant masterpiece from farhadi. He creates such a atmosphere out of a simple story that we will be super excited to watch what happens next after each scene...also the actors involved showcase their enormous talent to such a good writing tht we just brood till the very end... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review brent m A mildly intriguing look at marital life and strife told largely from an outside observer's perspective. While the story is capably handled and deftly told, however, I must also admit that there's not a lot here that's especially innovative, masterful or captivating. The sometimes-melodramatic narrative, with its allusions to infidelity and relationship discord, may be daring by Iranian audience standards, but it's hardly the stuff of groundbreaking material in the world of cinema at large. Also, its less-than-subtle metaphors grow a bit too obvious as the movie progresses. All in all, "Fireworks Wednesday" makes for a nice matinee offering but not a landmark work in the annals of filmmaking. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Another masterpiece of domestic strife from Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi.
