Without its sophisticated political metaphors, the movie would turn out mediocre.
I gave a 10* to balance very low ratings from those who are not familiar with Iranian traditional culture, society, and political regime.
It deserves an 8 overall. Dialogues and acts from Navid and Taraneh are not at their best potential but the storyline, Poursamimi, Farhad and Peyman, and above all the illustrative political narrative are just brilliant.
The movie starts somehow disappointing with a super-spicy load of exaggerations but gets better and better on its way.
A must-see for every Iranian during this historical period of transitions.
