Subtraction

First of all, one needs to understand what magical realism is to be able to understand the movie and its complex theme. Second of all, this genre along side surrealism, is one of the hardest genres to write/direct because when we deal with a real world where the impossible has been defined as "illogical yet true and acceptable" we also have a strong approach to the beautiful realms of philosophy and psychology. The movie is about personality, human behavior and relationships combined with a mystery drama. The whole story is a character study and if you look closely, you can see both similar individuals as only one person and this is the mirror and the parallel that keeps happening and recurring throughout the film just like a loop because there is no start point for this phenomena. It just exists.

There are so many great layers to each character and so much depth to story that some of it only depends on the viewers' perception and point of view. The movie is about the differences within ourselves and the way we deal with our own personal flaws and how our motives can change us or put us in a course of destruction or redemption. It's like a chain reaction. Every step matters and every decision is vital. This is a dark film with a dark ending and it never stops raining. It's like the whole world is crying. Thank you Mani and thank you Taraneh. Better days will come.

The movie is meaningless, it had no beginning and no end, no interesting story, nothing special, the actors acted very well, but the movie had no special meaning. This film caused a lot of noise in Iran and was even banned and released to the public illegally, but like many other films such as World War III, it is not interesting at all and does not compel the audience to watch it, they spend their time with Do not waste such videos. There are many good movies and masterpieces, enjoy watching them. Like Shahrzad, Gold tooth, Mast eshgh, Dinamit, Just 6.5. , Mim Mesle Madar,The Lizard,I'm Taraneh, 15. Even Hashtag khaleh sooskeh series.

This movie starts off with a fascinating premise: if there is someone who looks just like us in this world - but is not a biological twin - how different can they be from us? Quite a bit different, this movie suggests.

The problem, for me, was keeping track of the two different women played by the same actress. Sometimes I really wasn't sure which was which. That's not meant as a criticism, though, because I saw the movie in Persian with French subtitles and don't understand a word of Persian. The actress could have been doing all sorts of things with language to create distinctions, but I had no way of catching them.

I was unhappy with the way the movie turned out because I didn't understand why husband M was so jealous of his wife's interactions with Jahil. It's true that it had been made clear from early in the movie that M had a violent temper. Again, that may have been something I missed because I had to rely on the French subtitles.

The movie held me, but I thought it was longer than it turned out to be. Again, that may have been because I couldn't follow the dialogue itself.

The film was produced in the year 2022 and is one of the films that have been illegally published in cyberspace due to problems. Minus the margins of the film in terms of release, it can be said that it is considered one of the different films of recent years in Iranian cinema. A different story with brilliant performances by Taraneh Alidousti and Navid Mohammadzadeh, along with the direction of Mani Haghighi, has made a good movie that is worth watching. However, things like the rain throughout the film, that too in the location of Tehran, are a little far from reality, and maybe the location of the story could have been changed and still use the eerie atmosphere of the rain. It seems that is the best film in Mani Haghighi's directorial career.

After watching the trailer of the new Mani Haghigi movie, it can be considered a masterpiece of filmmaking in terms of ideas and themes. A very interesting topic has been raised. If a person does not know the summary of the story, he will definitely be surprised after seeing the film, and this shock in filmmaking is definitely attractive to the audience, a film that is not yet known to be released in Iran. We are happy that this type of leap in filmmaking is growing in Iran. Mohammadzadeh seems to be able to play her role well, she is professional and perfect in mystery films. The strong point of this movie, especially in some sequences, should be considered its soundtrack.
