Hilarious
mohammadmohammadzadeh14 January 2024
It's a full of comedy scene but it's not reasonable for other viewer from another countries because it just about Iran and Iran history , The film have different view about a man that changes his life during of revolution , war and some of this crucial moment in Iran , everything isn't good , some scenes are really boring and repeatedly used in many movies especially Persian movies .

I hope this director make another movie as good as this and better than all previous work who did in cinema . Iran situation is not good for any genres , so we just have comedy , Drama and war movies , we need creative director that show history , culture , art and ... to world not poverty, divorce and suicide ...

Pathetic and awful!!!! Do not waste your time!

Warning: Spoilers
One of the worst so called 'comedies' I have ever watched!!!!!! The events are inconsistent and some, like when the main character is exposed to the explosion of a grenade, are implausible!!!! I never figured what the story had intended to say!!!!! The jokes were terrible, the plot was weak, and movie was biased showing the two different time eras. I do not know how the movie has been on the silver screen for such a long time and has been received well!!!!!!!

Generally, I believe the movie was so populistic and biased, and it failed to say or show sometime worth listening to or watching. I do not recommend watching it.

Without content and with political goals
shahradjalilvand10 March 2024
A film that was obviously commissioned by a certain political group and is very weak in all aspects of filmmaking, and even after a few minutes, the Iranian audience, who is familiar with the details, does not have the patience to watch the rest of the film. The Islamic government of Iran has sponsored it, given it an award and provided the cinema box office for it to make the achievements of the previous government of Iran appear very shallow and meaningless. Many symbols that can be seen in this film, including the genre of music and the way of dressing, are prohibited in current Iran, and even making a film in this style requires special permits.

Fossil: A Lighthearted Journey with Deep Footprints
Ajidahaak29 February 2024
Fossil strikes a delightful balance between keeping you entertained and leaving you with something to ponder. It's a light-hearted journey throughout, punctuated by moments that carry a surprising depth of meaning.

The film portrays everyday Iranians navigating life's complexities with a refreshing dose of humor and resilience. Their stories, while often lighthearted, subtly weave in themes of social change, personal growth, and the importance of staying calm amidst the ever-evolving landscape of their lives.

If you're looking for a film that will entertain you with its humor and charm, while also sparking thoughtful reflection, Fossil is definitely worth checking out.

ridiculous!
nahaldvd1 March 2024
It's sad that this movie became so popular in Iran. 2hrs of a film that is supposed to be comedy but you don't even laugh for 5 minutes! Even the acting was poor. Elahe Hesari was the only one who acted well. The story is just stupid. Our people must have lowered their standards that they're interested in these type of movies. I think the only reason that it became popular is the nostalgia that it gives of old days in Iran otherwise it's just a waste of time.

And the ending! The ending was just terrible!

The movie is just full of loud noises that gives you headache, jokes that aren't funny and bad acting. It's a torture to watch it in the cinema.
