Tardes En El Diván

The struggle to become something or someone .. to succeed in ones profession or dream/pursuit. And if you are a woman ... well the struggle can be even worse. Especially in some countries and situations. Not that we have reached real equality anywhere, but in some countries it is even worse than in others, when it comes to women being able to work however they want to.

That is just the basis, just one of the points the movie is making. Psychologically speaking there is more to it. Great central performance, great persistence, great fight for what she believes in. And really fun and interesting side stories of the ... side characters overall. A nice little movie/drama, that you will like if you are into low budget character studies.

I felt like the last 10 minutes of the film were missing..

Golshifteh Farahani, as wonderful as always. I would say it's a feel good movie which is commenting on some of the issues faced in the modern day society.

Director took the artistic freedom in making it. It's good to watch movie.

And spoiler alert, there's guest entry of Sigmund Freud!!

If you want your main character to go into some dream/alternative sequence, you need to set it up properly. The story was going well until out of nowhere you are stuck in a car with an imaginary character for no rhyme or reason. That killed it for me. That whole scene needs to be edited out.

Overall great acting, funny spoofish characters.

A beautiful film to see. Set in Tunis, it has various readings within it, from light and cheerful to deep and full of intense content that an attentive audience will have the pleasure of noticing.
