This movie starts off with a fascinating premise: if there is someone who looks just like us in this world - but is not a biological twin - how different can they be from us? Quite a bit different, this movie suggests.
The problem, for me, was keeping track of the two different women played by the same actress. Sometimes I really wasn't sure which was which. That's not meant as a criticism, though, because I saw the movie in Persian with French subtitles and don't understand a word of Persian. The actress could have been doing all sorts of things with language to create distinctions, but I had no way of catching them.
I was unhappy with the way the movie turned out because I didn't understand why husband M was so jealous of his wife's interactions with Jahil. It's true that it had been made clear from early in the movie that M had a violent temper. Again, that may have been something I missed because I had to rely on the French subtitles.
The movie held me, but I thought it was longer than it turned out to be. Again, that may have been because I couldn't follow the dialogue itself.
