      Jordan Mintzer Hollywood Reporter Vibrantly helmed and performed, with co-director and Cannes best actress winner Zar Amir Ebrahimi playing one of the leads, the film is a win both behind and in front of the camera. Oct 23, 2023 Full Review Paul Risker PopMatters At its heart, Tatami is about the willingness to stand up to coercion no matter the cost, to break cyclical patterns of control in which dreams have been and continue to be savagely broken. Dec 29, 2023 Full Review Joseph Fahim Middle East Eye Ebrahimi overlooks myriad fundamental ethical and philosophical questions, exposing in the process the timidity and one-dimensionality of the film’s exasperatingly limited discourse.
