    The Charmer is a powerful piece of cinema!

    I saw this movie at Dubai Film Festival last year. It got a lot of buzz from the press and audience and all of the screenings where sold out. I managed to get a ticket and have to agree with all the positive reviews. This is a powerful piece of cinema! Intense and touching with great cinematography! I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire movie! The acting is excellent and the story kept surprising me until the very end! I highly recommend this movie!

    Boring movie

    Trailer looked good. But it was 2 really long hours. Cannot recommend this movie at all. Waste of time!

    A love story, and what you will and won't sacrifice for what you think will be a better life

    Initially starting with Iranian Ezmail, and his quest to find a key to staying in Denmark (or rather a girl who will sign that they are partners), he then meets a daughter of Iranian immigrants, and things become more complicated. At the same time he also starts to encounter the repercussions of his searching for fake love, and of hiding/ignoring his past.

    I watched this movie during the Sakhalin film festival, and got to meet Soho Rezanejad afterwards, who game some insight as to her character, and how she can related strongly. And she highlighted that this is not just a story of an immigrant coming to Denmark, and trying to find a way to stay, but also the children of immigrants, and how they search for belonging.

    I definitely recommend giving this a watch.
