"Breakfast with Giraffes" is an absolute gem of a film, weaving a storyline that is as special as it is pleasant. The movie eschews loud drama for a quieter, more profound narrative that explores connection and finding beauty in the most unexpected of places. The central premise is wonderfully unique and executed with a gentle, heartwarming touch that leaves you with a lasting sense of joy and contentment. It's a truly delightful cinematic experience that feels like a warm hug, carried by a plot that is both simple in its charm and deep in its emotional resonance.

This is the kind of film that truly benefits from a second viewing. The first watch sweeps you away with its charming story and beautiful visuals, but watching it again allows you to appreciate the subtle nuances in the performances and the deeper layers of its uplifting message. There are so many small, beautiful moments and quiet details you might miss the first time around. "Breakfast with Giraffes" is a rare treat that not only entertains but also enriches the spirit, making it a definite must-see, and then a must-see-again.

Unfortunately this movie was another disappointment for Persian pop entertainment Very poor copy of th "hung over", and this is not because of limitations in Iran, but lack of proficiency of the writers.

With a positive approach, they had a good concept of localizing the original movie, but the whole scenario was inconsistent and full of lags and disconnects Very slow pace, with stories and characters that are not well defined and developed.

They made some incidents and some good jokes, but it was not well used.

Acting was poor, performances disappointing trying to portray a nihilistic middle age middle class male.

Iranian movie industry had great masters such as Mehrjooyee, Taghvayee and Beizayee but it's sad to see that this skills were not passed to younger generations, and this is only part that can be blamed on the administration for not creating a platform for it.

The film isn't a crowd-pleaser, and chances are, if you haven't connected with or appreciated Soroush Sehat's world before, you probably won't enjoy this movie either. But since this is my website, and you're likely here to hear my opinion, I have to say-I didn't like it.

The overall vibe of Breakfast with Giraffes is light and quirky, and the story stems from a concern the director clearly cares about, which is valuable in itself. However, in trying to express that concern, I feel the film loses its way. Honestly, if I hadn't seen the last ten seconds of the movie, I would've said Breakfast with Giraffes was a really bad film. (As it stands, I'll just say it was a bad one.)

Leaving aside the weak storyline and lack of proper character development, I will admit that elements like the soundtrack, cinematography, and humor are above the current standards of Iranian cinema. That's actually what convinced me to add Soroush Sehat's previous film, Dance with Me, to my watchlist.

So yeah-I didn't enjoy this film, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I'd give it a 4.5 out of 10.

P. S. What's up with this hilarious sleazeball version of Bijan Banafshekhah? :)

It was a pure Art directed by Soroush Sehat and the fabulous act of Bijan Banafshekhah.

It's a deep movie, it's a dark comedy which touches your soul and at the same time make you suffer!!!

Although you are suffering watching it at the same time, you can't stop watching this. This is something that keeps you on your seat and make you freeze when the movie ends.

It was a mind-game movie, and watch it if you enjoy deep and dark movies.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of time for you.

All the actors are exactly in place, Bijan Banafshekhah is fitting his role 100% and at the same time the other actors are also having a great impact on the overall development of the movie.

I've enjoyed Soroush Sehhat's previous works, but Breakfast with Giraffes was by far the worst. It lacked a coherent storyline, and while the director claimed the movie was about forgiveness, the execution completely missed the mark-if anything, it conveyed the opposite message.

Marketed as a comedy, it was actually a dark drama, and even the occasional comedic moments were predictable, outdated, and at times nonsensical. The title itself felt entirely irrelevant to the film.

To top it off, despite paying for a VIP ticket, Soroush and his team (including Bahram Radan) didn't even stay after the screening for a photo with the audience. Overall, a disappointing experience in every way.
