User Review
An Unrealistic Drama
Rating: 5/10
The first word that comes to my mind for this movie is exaggeration.All
the praying and character of "Mehran" and government agents don't make
much sense. The director tried to make the city she was filming in like
Tehran which was a wrong choice. She tried to focus on faces and
removes the attention to background when shooting in city which ruins
the depth of the scenes and every single Iranian easily realize that it
is not Tehran. Except for "Azar" no other actors or actresses have
native accent.The story line is weak and not thoroughly worked. In
general, it would be a good idea to show the homosexuals' problems in
Iran and discuss it, but it dissolves in exaggerated opinions of
director/writer about the whole government issues and forced marriage
and specially in captured minds of people (like in 1984). In my
opinion, trying to mix these stuff was a bad idea.
