Ben Sachs Chicago Reader The subjects are so unlikable that I had trouble caring about what happened to them, but this is still an eye-opening portrait of a part of Iranian society that almost never appears in the national cinema. Mar 11, 2020 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety A violent, charged-up, attack-the-block movie that comes at you with a feverish spirit of underworld degradation that's startling to behold. Jan 16, 2019 Full Review Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter Well-deserving of exposure to international audiences who, however, will have to adjust their ideas about soft-spoken Iranian drama. May 3, 2018 Full Review Oktay Ege Kozak Paste Magazine Even though the melancholic score sometimes undermines its in-your-face energy, Sheeple is bound to be a genre staple for Iran down the line.

Audience Member I started watching the movie and after 20 minutes, I thought the movie was done. Everything that I expected to happen happened. All the conflicts were intensified to the fullest. I wondered what else is gonna happen in the rest of this movie. The movie has just started and took us through an amazing journey. Wonderful storry telling. It's a must see!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member A drama with some serious social and psychological implications about slums around Tehran, the capital city of Iran, which poverty, drugs, kidnapping, violence, murder, and most importantly cultural and intellectual retardation has taken over... There's also serious material on lack of women's right in some families in Iran and how worthless their desires and lives can be in the eyes of the men. Altogether, you will see how psychotic it can get when there is no name of father around and everyone just follow personal moral codes of a radical godfather... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
