World War III is an impressive and bitter film that shows how a society that faces social, political and cultural contradictions, may harm itself. The powerful and emotional performance of Mohsen Tanabandeh as Shakib, confirms Houman Seyyedi as a talented director. The collapsed and dark atmosphere of the film is in harmony with the music of Bamdad Afshar. Only if the ending of the film was less predictable, maybe it could have won a more significant award than the one it received at the Venice Film Festival.

Some positive aspects of the film are:

• The film tackles a sensitive and relevant topic of war and its consequences on ordinary people.

• The film uses a realistic and minimalist style that creates a sense of immersion and authenticity.

• The film explores the complex and contradictory emotions of the characters, such as love, guilt, anger and revenge.

• The film has a strong visual language that conveys the mood and tone of the story.

We should not forget that this film, like all the films made in the last 40 years, was made under the supervision of the government's censorship blade, and the talented workers of this film could have added other wonderful moments to the story. But he was able to create a valuable work with great artistry. I suggest everyone to watch the amazing role of "Mohsen Tanabandeh" more carefully.

Houman Seyyedi has found his own genre. It's as if Houman Seyyedi's signature is at the bottom of the film, even if his name is not in the credits as the director and producer and writer and editor of this film. The brilliant performance of Mohsen Tanabandeh in this film cannot be easily overlooked. The simple story of the film moves slowly, but it reaches the climax and attracts the audience and leaves the audience speechless like the female character of the film. You can see how a character can sink into the role he is playing and how a dictator can devour his actor in this movie. In general, it can be said that this movie is attractive and has a different place among the recent movies of Iranian cinema.

Seen this movie today at the Stockholm's film festival and I was amazed by the number of layers in the story.

The film is so absurd, complex and simple at the same time. It's very hard to describe. It's a roller coaster of emotions. Like you watch cartoons, a horror movie, then a drama with pauses to give time for reflection.

Describes the struggle of the characters in an absurd world that is becoming even more absurd mainly because people act erratic. Nobody is safe from madness and everyone is culpable, but the more people sin the harder it is for them to admit mistakes.

Go see this movie if you are a person that is more interested in depth than Hollywood.

Although I love Iranian movies, I have to admit that I am not impressed. It lasts too long and in every minute you can't see any shiny sparkle. Even though the main actor is good, the story is a bit weak. I know, it is the story of a poor middle-aged man who struggles to survive poverty and who loses hope to live blaming all around, even those who are giving him a chance, but it should be packed in less time. The only thing which can help in seeing the entire film project is its cinematography. After watching it you will have a bitter taste and the thought that you watched someone's misfortune, and in any case you didn't want to watch it.

It always gets under my skin, the ending scenes that could have been amamzing, but the directores just ruin it completely, so why not keeping the camera working while they fall like flies, in front of them Hitler watching them suffer and dying like he did in all of his scenes in the movie they were shooting, watching them dying and then the camera get a shopt from his back with all of them died on the floor or on table. This could have been so good and it will leave a mark with any viewer. The director did great sitting up for this ending but he didn't continue it perfectly. Overall it was a good movie, I enjoyed the main character's acting so much.
