VERY SLOW BORING FILM
6 October 2023
A film that has NO real story, It would like you to believe that it is a story by being pretentious and arty.

Sometimes foreign film-makers think that trying to be poetic will get you across the line.

I really tried to like this film but let me tell you why this is a waste of time and the film only runs for 1 hour 25 min, and about 3 min of reallly slow credits.

The film is shot well, nice locations and the actors are ok, nothing to call home about. The music is delightful too. Apart from that there's nothing else here. The story is non-existent, it's extremely slow paced, boring, uninteresting and no emotion.

Terrible directing of a poorly written script by Amin Palangi & Osama Sami (who I liked very much in Alis wedding) There's some good poetic dialogue but that's not enough.

I don't know what else to say but this is NOT a film, the events of the story go nowhere. There is no conflict, no emotion, no interest, the characters are not interesting, not compelling, not engaging.

Sorry this is the honest truth.

And it has a typical art farty NON-ENDING that leaves you annoyed after thiking something compelling will happen after 1 hour 20 min of nothing - at least give me something.

The fact that I am the only who cared enough to take the time to review the film tells you a lot.
