Welcome to BRICK. BRICK is not about bricks; in fact there are no bricks here. This movie should have been named anything else such as tiles, boulders, murals, stones, plaster, metal, magnets, legos. Literally anything but brick. Reminds me of INFINITY POOL in which there was no pool. This fun detail out of the way, the tone is already set.
The movie goes down the list of diversity quotas without shame. Include this, include that. You are gay, so are you, everybody is gay, and you are not gay, you are old, you are a psychopath, also gay. No shame no lead in just getting it out of the way so they can get that quota filled in. It is done in such a bad way it just annoys the viewer.
This movie could have been an escape room movie, a puzzle movie.... an adventure movie.. a sci fi movie. At times it tried to be all of those but failed at being any. It just became low effort drama with a very washed up mystery.
The props are bad. I can remember one other time where a gun used on screen was more rubbery than the one here. And speaking of props.. why is this MA rated.. there is no intimacy, no gore, no real violence... who rated this MA or is it just another cheap attempt to mislead the viewer and sell some shock appeal that isn't there. Very strange. This is PG13 all the way.
The positives... characters with some exceptions are decent enough. Believable enough. Acting is acceptable..C+ grade.. fits with the script. The ending though while being anticlimatic is actually contrary to what you would expect from such a movie. I can appreciate how it ended and during the movie itself, they literally tell how it might end. They spell out the possible outcomes in some conversations. And it ends exactly like one of them. I liked that touch. Deep irony here and you can go back and remember which character was right all along, making the entire movie plot, pointless. Unfortunately too little, too late.
5\10 it tried but could not deliver more than meh.

This was a brilliant movie. It is one of those where you cannot find faults because everything is so well done.
The setting is great, decor is authentic, wardrobe fits. Characters are amazing, deep and unique and you feel with each one. Acting is superb and scenes flow smoothly and coherently. The plot is complete and meaningful with no open ends.
Events are well done and meaningful and most importantly realistic; everything feels right and that it belongs. I do not want to call this quintessential 70s massachussets boarding school movie because I do not think this was the point here, it wasn't the goal of the movie to be such, it just had that as the setting. But i was told by people of this vintage that it is actually very accurate regardless. That is good to know and realism is always good.
The ending... That is worth mentioning. I am not happy with how it ended...I expected or rather hoped for a different ending because i became attached to the characters and wanted something better at the end. The movie has several scenes that send you on that belief that thing will go a certain way, but they do not. To me it is a sad ending because it was not the one i wanted. When a movie gets you involved enough that you actually care about the characters that to me is one of the hardest things a writer and director can achieve. And here they have done it.
9\10 the choices we make, are sometimes not for ourselves but they show who we are.

Except it is not iranian drama. The whole iranian part is completely irrelevant. This is a movie about a woman running away from her abusive husband. They are both in australia and she cannot go back to iran because she has sinned (im paraphrasing) and nothing good awaits her from the morality police.
She and the kid take refuge in a shelter while trying to avoid her husband and sort her immigration paperwork. She is paranoid, feels he is stalking her etc etc. The usual. Nothing new in the script.
Where does the movie go astray here then.. Simply, the movie fails to create any meaningful care for the characters. I genuinely was rooting for the father here because shayda was so wooden so unlikable and just unmemorable. It did not resonate with me at all and the movie is based on emotion, without really giving you such. The mother daughter scenes were forced and felt awkward and the scenes with the father and his people failed to portray him as the evil person she was desperate to avoid.
Social workers were good, they fit and probably the highlight of this movie... Expected better here. Was left disappointed.
5\10 unlikable characters and badly written relationships.
