Baradaran-e Leila

Full of memorable and great quotes. High budget, gorgeous product. The best movie I've watched this year till this moment. I cried and laughed, I yelled at the screen and punched my sofa. This was a true emotional rollercoaster. I can't. Very relatable and easy to understand. Recommended 100%.

Story line/story telling: 10 out of 10 Acting and performance: 10 out of 10 Ending: 100 out of 10 Script: 100 out of 10 Sceneries and visuals: 10 out of 10 This drama worth watching. It was not nagging about deficiencies and lacks, quite opposite, it was all about the potentials of fixing issues. I'm all about it.

The movie was a captivating portrayal of the struggles faced by the people of Iran. From the opening scene to the final moments, it kept me on the edge of my seat. Navid's performance was impressive, but it did seem like he was acting for a movie. However, Tarane's performance was truly outstanding. Her portrayal of a woman struggling to make ends meet and facing the harsh realities of life was remarkable.

What made Tarane's performance stand out was how she seamlessly transitioned from happiness to sadness. It was as if she was living the character's life, and her emotions were raw and genuine. It was truly amazing to watch her bring the character to life, and I found myself rooting for her throughout the movie.

Beyond the exceptional performances, the movie effectively showcased the social problems faced by people in Iran. You could feel the impact of poverty on the people and the struggles they faced. It was an eye-opening experience to witness their hardships, and it made me reflect on the privileges I have.

In conclusion, the movie was an amazing experience that left a lasting impression on me. The exceptional performances and portrayal of social problems in Iran were both impressive and thought-provoking. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a thought-provoking and captivating movie.

Amazing movie that shows the generation gap in Iran and how they perceive values differently. It also shows what's going on in Iran and how people are pressured by the government and regime, the fact that if you are poor you are poor and there are barely supports for you.

What I like the most about this movie, is breaking the cliches about respecting older people and parents that the govenimedia massively invested on it during the last 43 years after the revolution just because they are just older, but this movie shows it otherwise.

I really liked this movie and now have to make this review longer so I can post it.

After the brilliant La Loi de Téhéran, Saeed Roustaee (a name to remember) confirms that he is one of the most talented filmmakers of the moment as could be a Park Chan-wook or a Bong Joon-ho. A fully mastered work from A to ZA , and above all a real actor's director with special mention for the breathtaking crowd scenes that we had already seen in The Law of Tehran and that we see again here (the strike at the factory, the wedding...).

Saeed Roustae gives us a real family fresco, tragic and brulsesque as Roustaee rightly says with an ode to the courage and wisdom of women, filmed with real finesse.

Even if most of the actors are extraordinary, Taraneh Alidoosti who is simply magnificent dominates the film (it is not for nothing that the title is Leila and her brothers).

And in addition we see Undertaker, Broke Lesnar and Randy Orton (and we are entitled to a debate on them, Triple H and Big Show being cited).

In short, undoubtedly one of the best films of 2022, and to say that it did not win the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

As someone who closely follows the roller coaster of events in Iran, I could relate to it very well. The story line is simple but the character development and layers of complexity introduced as you keep watching make it really exciting and deep. One of the best movies I've ever watched from a director who was under 30 when he made this. The movie is so realistic without any exaggeration. Our society suffers from such miserable culture. The movie is such a brilliant illustration of what we are deeply struggle whit. I think we need this revolution by the name of woman, life, freedom to overcome all negative aspects of old believes, thoughts and pains.

The father of this family in movie is somehow symbolicly like the person who is running country of Iran who is not thinking about his children's job and future of his people and only thinking about other people not his people.
