    See also "The Room (2003)"

    Terrible acting, too much focus on irrelevant matters, no specific story going on. Videography was good though and The "J" actress was beautiful.

    Beautiful

    Beautifully shot, gorgeous cinematography. Well acted. A very important and sensitive tale.

    Great visuals for a thought-provoking movie

    The cinematography and direction are gorgeous, and "They" is a constant visual feast. The premise is extremely interesting, and the movie deals with it with good taste and subtelty. So it is a bit frustrating that the narrative tends to scatter. With a better focus in the writing, "They" could have become a classic.

    What's the point of this film?

    We have a young person ready for transition, their sister facing difficult career choice, and her boyfriend being a migrant doctor seeking to get a green card by getting married. The film could be very interesting but lack focus of any of the issues faced by these characters, and wasted almost a third of the time in a totally pointless Iranian party.

    Nice cinematography

    Nice camerawork but lot's of mumbling throughout this film. The main character mumbles and it's distracting and alienating.
