Shayda was truly moving and real. It brought tears to my eyes.
The genuine warmth and authenticity of the story, the outstanding performances by the actors, and the director's artistic touch were truly mesmerising. I highly recommend watching it.
One clever aspect of the film was its use of old Iranian pop music as the exclusive soundtrack. It provided a rare source of joy during challenging times for many. I also appreciated the significance of sentimental objects like the Mecca necklace, which is instantly recognisable to Iranians of that generation and serves as a symbol of Shayda's ex's ideological background.
The appearance of Noora's mother, the real Shayda, at one of the parties, and the movie's conclusion with her hopeful words, added a touching layer to the story.
I think, Shayda is a film that beautifully pictures themes of love, community, and women's resilience.
