A Star Is Born (2018)

Such a beautiful art work! Genuine, Sentimental, Love Quality, Touching...

[9/10 · 30 May 2020]

One of the most touching movies ... I got enormously impressed... my tears didn't belong to me anymore!

It reminded me this Rumi's poem (of course after putting myself together): "You must bet and lose everything you've ever owned if you truly desire to become one with your beloved."

Togo (2019)

Absolutely Beautiful & definitely worth watching!

[9/10 · 29 April 2020]

Miraculous interwoven bond between dog & human is very well shown in this movie.

At some scenes, I had to squeeze my heart because it felt like it is tearing into pieces! I felt the pain and the hope at the same time.

Dogs are lovely and I think this movie has been successful in depicting some characteristics of dogs such as bravery, perseverance, loyalty and intelligence when it unites with the human sentiments and logic and create something just beautiful.

Under the Smoky Roof (2017)

Under the smoky roof ... Iranian's everyday complicated lives!

[8/10 · 5 February 2020]

This movie is a nice depiction of that situation where the emotional bound of a few people together is not only negative but also destructive. The art of this movie is that it shows the story from the perspective of different people who are differently affected with the unpleasant condition. They live with each other while they don't have any commonality to share, just like being total strangers to each other. The problems roots from lack of communication or being scared to talk about the needs which shows in two complete different forms: either too much love, or too much ignorance! Lack of communication and affection between a father and a son, because of excessive attention of the mother to the son since childhood; Lack of communication and affection between the spouse because of dedicating the love only to the kids and forgetting about the husband or the wife; Or because of finding love somewhere else instead of standing and trying to solve the problem; Lack of communication and affection between the mother and the son because of the son being tired of the whole situation and considering his mother as one of the main reasons for the mess! People are very tired and not motivated to solve their problems because unfortunately they are living under the smoky roof ...!

Hush! Girls Don't Scream (2013)

Iranian Women's Suffocation

[9/10 · 4 February 2020]

As a girl born and raised in Iran, I could admit this sad truth which is well depicted in this movie. Unfortunately, girls not being allowed to even laugh loudly has been a cultural norm, then how it is expected that they start talking about more serious problems that appear in their lives! Women do not have any voice! And even if they do, they just don't be taken serious and might even be accused ... There is a long journey to go for breaking lots of stupid customs agains women in that country!
