Damn this is good, Pure Drama, An excellent depiction of poverty, Addiction and struggle in modern-day Iran, I highly Recommend it.

Somayeh's found a way to make a leap, from the destitution her family's buried deep, it's an arrangement, there's no desire, no spark or glue or love or fire, but it takes her to a place off the scrapheap. It's a choice that causes chaos and confusion, as she's a pivotal part of the family institution, how will they cope when she has left, although they'll all feel quite bereft, but she's always made substantial contribution.

It's a wonderful piece of filmmaking with some top drawer performances that leave you under no illusion of what poverty and drug addiction can lead to. The story flows seamlessly, the dialogue is raw and realistic, as with the rest of this directors films, it drops you into a world you could hardly imagine, a world of people living on the edge.

This is an extremely good realistic movie about a family and it's miserable members. If you don't understand Persian language, you may find it little difficult to read the subtitle and keep up the fast moving documentary style visuals at the same time. But, as the film progress, it's amazing, you will get into it completely. Each character is well defined, there is no good or bad, everything is situation driven. This is the reason I love Iranian films so much. Amazing job on the acting as well.

I highly recommend this!. As much as you can you should watch this.

I highly recommend this movie to everyone who like to see how an impoverished life can be in Tehran.

First-Time director Saeid Roustayi captures Iranian culture, the current poverty epidemic that everyday Iranians face from a realistic standpoint. The performances, story and cinematography all allow us a realistic glimpse into this family, whose dealing with many issues. The film touches on a lot of Iranian taboos and cultural fallbacks on a surface level, and delves deep into others. The family business is struggling, one brother is addicted (solid performance from Navid Mohammadzadeh), another sister doesn't marry (big deal in iranian culture), one is divorced, and another plans to be married off to supposedly wealthy Afghan. The main character, portrayed brilliantly by Peyman Moaadi struggles to make wise business and family decisions, and it becomes taxing.

For fans of Iran's realist movement should watch this. I felt like this accurately captured Iranian culture, while also posing vital questions about the situations.

A complete drum and, in all sense, one of the best Iranian films, thanks to the dear Saeed Rustayi for making a good and lasting effect, forever and one day, a flip. It's a lie to remind us of a forgotten class. The buried class is under the rubbish of misery and poverty, and of addiction and dangers, and ....... But the most controversial and, most of all, the most golden, The dialogue is the one where Morteza said loudly to everyone: "Anyone can, and there is no shortage of lesser dogs, every time they go and get back from the dog less, less." This dialogue is tapped in the face of the audience.

One of the best movies i i had ever seen,this is not all of iran

The acting is just fabulous - I especially loved Payman Moadi, Navid Mohammadzadeh, and Parinaz Izadyar. But I have to say the story was a little too dark for my taste! Towards the end of the movie, I just wanted to bang my head into the wall! And that's why I give it 8 stars. But all in all, wow, just wow!

I really want to like this movie but I can't. The actings are top-notch. The story is interesting. However, I cannot stand the ambience. It is gloomy and dark from start to finish. Always yelling, arguing, yelling, crying, so on and so forth.

This really makes me think, is this the real daily life in Iran? Where people keep arguing on everything, even on the simple things!

After watching this movie, I feel so tired and on the other hand, I feel lucky not to have these kind of problems.

Perhaps you will find that in the beginning the movie has so fast dialogues. And it continues through out all of the movie. So if you are foreigner (like me ) you will find difficult to catch all from the subtitles and perhaps you will say not worth to see. But if you insist, sooner or later you will start to understand the beauty of the movie. It needs to see at least one more time to start seeing all the surrounding that you missed first time by looking at the subtitles. The characters are so good in their roles! The photography unbelievable! you will enjoy seeing it again the next day. I had years to see a such moving movie.

'We all die one day, don't worry, no one has ever been left alive". Life + 1 day is about dysfunctional, shattered family who are overwhelmed by fear as the youngest daughter of the family is getting married. The characters come to life through the dialogue, confrontations, and realistic situations. The acting was very raw and impressive. This heart-wrenching drama is a must see.

I love this movie very much and acting navid mohammadzadeh and peyman maadi is fantastic . if you want to see a good iranian movie , i Proposal this movie

this film is the first time Saeed Roostaee made his long movie, considering that,this could be a pleasing accident to the Iranian's cinema. making fast, quick but effective rhythms which fits exactly right in the action of switching between dark and hopeful themes of the camera , with nice Decoupaged Miseenscenes turned this dark drama even more comfortable and attractive to watch. considerable act of Parinaz Izadyar as the character of Somayeh, transfers the true concept of her role on the scenario as the second mother of the family, the origin of kindness which brings hope to a poor family and balances the tragic power of film by proposing a solution to the major disappointing scenes , armed with every kind of art to brings his theory to the every edge of director's frame. so if you have some time and you're ready to feel some impressing drama , here you are.

We did not experience. We only appeared as a viewer. It was not necessary to be same like that because it was perceptible and tangible for almost every kind of audience. It's as if somewhere near us is happening or has already happened. We laughed, we cried and judged, as a viewer. Anger effect was certain. When the film came to an end, need for free space and review step by step of the movie, complete a significant movie effect. As for the characters in the story, it's enough that the audience finally concludes that, despite the apparent faults of the characters, no one is to blame and all the faults should be left to fate. All characters are a function of the conditions. But I think that, beyond these reactions, the demand for the film was something else. The film asked us to make an identification instead of judging. Asked us to understand what the dangers of the crowded family are struggling with poverty. The film asked us to hear the words of Mohsen (Navid Mohammadzadeh), despite the fact that audience translated he is an abnormal obscurity brutish in the first place. But Pain of not understand. A misunderstanding of past generations that portrays itself in the form of a crowded family, to show abnormalities that the family faces today, and to portray itself as a extremist, conservative, and fearless personality. Laughter sequences from the bottom and crying from the bottom in the cinema had a confusing atmosphere that showed real effect. The film's cinematic experience was specific to one of the spectators in the last quarter continued with a cigarette. Others were melting in a way that someone did not attention to an angry viewer and his cigarette's bad smell. at the end: Our cinema really needs such as this films. Films that really push audiences dumb or into a deep inside challanging and push into judging and not doing space.

This movie is one of best iranian movies. Navid mohamad zade's and peyman moadi's is very good acting in this movie. And story is so wonderful and powerful and if you want watch great iranian movies you must watch this movie.

The plot of this movie covers many taboos in Iranian culture with a skilful story. The story of survival of a family of A mother( very sick, old and in need of assistance for survival) a widow daughter, another divorced daughter another daughter who has no suitor , another daughter who is about to marry to start a life an addict son and another desperate son . The only ray of hope if the youngest son who is smart. They all live in poverty and in the same rundown house. The youngest daughter who is getting married I the only sensible, responsible person in the household and everyone is freaking out, since they are miserably dependent on her.

Plot combines this relationship perfectly. Performance of the main characters ( Peyman maadi as Moteza, Ms. Parinaz Izadyar as Somaye, and Navid Mohammadzade as Mohsen) is fantastic. The plot depicts the poverty, dis function , taboos, treatment of the women as the subversive persons, superbly. This is a must see movie.h.

Life and a Day is one of those rare films that doesn't leave you once it ends. It lingers with you-its emotions, its truths, its bitter realities stay in your mind and heart for days. For a debut feature, Saeed Roustaee delivers an astonishing masterpiece that is hard to believe comes from a first-time filmmaker.

One of the film's greatest strengths is its raw and powerful realism. Nothing in this film feels exaggerated or preachy. From the family tensions to the quiet desperation of the characters, everything feels painfully authentic. Poverty here isn't just about lacking money-it's about lacking choices, lacking hope, lacking a future.

Navid Mohammadzadeh, as Mohsen, gives a brilliant performance full of rage, regret, and silent affection. But the emotional centerpiece of the film is undoubtedly Parinaz Izadyar as Somayeh. Without relying on heavy dialogue, she conveys heartbreak, exhaustion, and inner strength with just her eyes and voice. Somayeh represents countless women caught in a trap-torn between staying in a broken home or walking into an uncertain future.

The film's tight, claustrophobic cinematography, limited locations, and gray lighting perfectly reflect the suffocating mood and sense of dead-end. The dialogue is so natural it feels as if a hidden camera was placed inside a real family home. The sparse, melancholic score heightens the emotional weight of every moment.

In the end, Life and a Day is not an entertaining film in the conventional sense-it's a raw, uncompromising portrait of social decay and emotional struggle. If you're looking for escapism, this isn't the film for you. But if you want a story that shows you pain in its most honest form and makes you feel it in your bones, this is a film you won't forget.

Wow!! The Iranian cinema really is so underrated, what a great acting what a great directing what a great story.

The most awesome thing about this movie is the reality of it, it is a very simple story with a few characters but with a huge realistic feeling that will make you feel like you are facing a situation that can happen daily, but in the same time it was very interesting and fascinating without any feeling of boring.

The only negative point about the movie that it left a lot of hanging points without any answers, i am not talking here about the end of the movie but at least just show us the real intentions of the characters, but the good point about this that Even the movie is done we were still discussing who is good and who is bad and whose decisions were correct.

At the end the movie is nice and advisable to watch and it is safe for a family view.
