Literally the worst movie I've ever seen. Offensive on so many levels. This movie is not a lesbian film. It's a lesbian-as-predator film. It's disgusting. I'm offended. It's literally the most offensive movie that I've ever seen in 40 years on this planet. It's a disgusting film that only the most conservative person would enjoy. Even then, the conservative person would probably wonder why they wasted their time on this foolish, horrid movie. I was rather excited when I started watching the film, then I started laughing because I thought it might be a badly acted lesbian film. Turns out that it's an anti-lesbian film. I had been live tweeting as I watched and urging my 1000+ followers to watch, but once the film finished I deleted all my tweets and urged everyone to avoid the film. Screw you. Worst movie ever.

I wasn't gonna write a review for this movie but after watching it and witnessing how awful it is, I just had to let it known here that this is one of the very rare times when I've agreed with most IMDb user reviews. This movie is, indeed, an unbelievable disaster. Please all, stay as far away from it as possible.

Still, in the right hands, this movie had great potential to cement itself as a landmark Sapphic romantic drama in the vein of Shamim Sarif's awesome classics. Indeed, in a world where there is very limited Middle Eastern-centered Sapphic representation - much less Iranian - this could easily have become an instant hit and cult classic if it had presented to the viewers the content that its ads seem to pretend it is about. As it stands, the movie did have great lead characters and decent enough costumes and production design. All it needed was, well, a totally different writer and director. Baharak Saeid Monir (the director) simply butchered up this movie into the dark pits of the worst movies ever made, ever - right alongside some of the most (cinematically and morally) repugnant movies imaginable.

Iran is home to one of the world's oldest continuous major civilizations, with historical and urban settlements dating to 7000 BC. That having been said, I would have liked to have seen more of why the movie ended as it did. This is not a movie with naked bodies and sex. Rather, it looks at life and our decisions. The protagonist, a woman, makes up her own mind, as it should be. Just because someone does not like her decision does not make it a bad movie. To me, it was true to life. The protagonist's husband's temper was stupid but not abusive. And for a traditional Iranian man, he was on the radical left, as many in Iran are to this day.

But more than that, sexual harassment in the workplace is real: How refreshing to see a different take on the problem. I had a sexually frisky boss once, and like the protagonist, I believe employees should have the right to express their feelings and still keep their job. If the boss won't take no for an answer, what better place to tell him or her about it than in the John?

Yes, the ending was cheesy, and the writing could have been much better. But I liked it. It was an adult movie for thinkers. Watch it until the end. That's when it's okay to go yuck or whatever. I just hope there was room for the protagonist to grow. She earned it.

It's hard to find good lesbian movies and this is definitely not one of them. It is one of the slowest most boringness movie ever. The most interesting part of this movie is the pizza. Don't even waste your time.

Seriously I couldn't have been the only one that was built up for a lesbian threeway or any girl on girl and then the credits roll leaving you with nothing but disappointment. .. Wtf
