Audience Member I thought this was a good film. It appeared realistic, revealing a side of society that we do not get to see. I did not agree with David Ng's review in the Village Voice that began by referring to the heroine as "gender confused". I did not see that at all and thought she was very clear about her gender identity. She never "reinvented herself" as some critics have concluded. Her new identity was forced on her from without. I don't see this woman as confused in any way. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Very good film... Americans don't realize how good they have it here... what someone will sacrifice in other parts of the world, for our "natural" rights in the U.S.A. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member unveiled ended before it peaked, or perhaps thats just me wishing for a fairytale ending for 'em. absorbing watch though, one of the more decent ones around. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A powerful story of self-preservation, determination, and caring. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is refreshing in the way it's something so different from the usual lesbian romances. A plot that begins with an Iranian woman disguising herself as a man in order to avoid persecution is already heavier than the usual light-hearted fare. The protagonist really can pass for a man with the right hair and make-up, but what's even more important is that the relationship between Fariba and Anne is believable. It doesn't come out of nowhere, but rather, the feelings between them develop slowly, which makes sense considering both women have their reasons for not wanting to become attached. It's the rest of the story that might require some suspension of disbelief. The beginning in particular is rather far-fetched, and I didn't buy the ending, but in between there's still a compelling drama here that shouldn't be ignored. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The film's blatant theft of many of Boys Don't Cry's central dramatic sequences is pretty annoying. that said, i enjoyed how the film tackled the worthy subjects of immigration and lgbt refugees, and jasmin tabatabai's soulful, genuine, and technically flawless performance is moving.
