The Persian Version (2023)
Near Perfect

I fell in love with this family. This movie is gorgeous, and heartbreaking, and hilarious, and cold, and tender and incredibly human.
Very exquisite storytelling that's emotionally mature, beautifully performed with fiery female leads, and an excellent supporting cast. The comedic timing and immersive dialogue reveals the struggle and bond of an Iranian family full of joy, shame, tenacity, pride, resentment, grief, empathy and forgiveness.
You'll laugh and you might even cry.
I'll be seeing this again and recommending it broadly.
The man who checked my ticket told me "it's Thursday night, a night to celebrate movies". I thought that was charming, (if odd) but it turns out he was right. The Persian Version is an excellent film.
