The Charmer

Luck of the draw , i came across this film on hoopladigital. story is compelling ( to me at least ). acting is beyond decent. enjoyable film , strongly recommended...

The worsts movie I've ever seen. Wow. Don't you waste time on that. I wish I've never seen it.

This movie, set in Denmark, by Iranian director Milad Alami who is making his feature film debut opens with a quite shocking scene. It had enough intrigue and mystery to keep me guessing to the end. But I felt it was somewhat marred by jumping, at times, from one scene to another without explanation, as well as an overabundance of explicit lovemaking scenes which become tedious. The acting is first rate, and Alami's capturing of the feel of the Iranian community in Denmark is perfection.

Overall, this is a movie that kept me engaged till its conclusion, but unfortunately as mentioned, it does get somewhat disjointed.

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!

One of films who you feel, in intense manner, scene by scene. Supposing, admiring the inspired cinematography, surprised by details, seduced by acting and by the gentle fragility of characters. A delicate portrait of hope, honesty and love. And admirable work of Ardan Esmaili . A film about deep loneliness, about fall of adaptation, a pure poem about life, chances and the need to be only yourself.
