This movie was one of the most awaited and controversial movies of Iranian cinema that I was waiting for, a philosophical and mystical story that at the same time deals with war and its consequences, and also deals with a love story. .... A complete and amazing movie, especially with the beautiful acting of Shahab Hosseini and Ibrahim Celikkol .

The point that exists is that besides being one of the great Iranian mystics, Rumi and Shams are also among the great poets of Iran. I think their poems should have been used more as a dialogue.

This movie had the ability to be made at least as a mini-series, pay attention, I say at least, because the story has the capacity of a long series, and I don't know why it was not made as a series.

In general, the editing work was good, the jumps to the past and present were well done.

The Farsi dubbing and dubbing of the Turkish actors was poorly done.

All in all, it was a great movie of Iranian and Turkish cinema. I definitely suggest you see it.

And finally, for a better understanding of Shams and Rumi's life, I suggest reading the book The Forty Rules of Love written by Elif safak.

This movie is so interesting I am trying not give out the spoiler. We I was at the edge of my seat throughout of the movie. I am not into romance movie but this was a different one . It changes the way I see romance in movies. A well written plot and story kudos to the directors and crews for giving us the privilege to see this masterpiece.

Some people may have preferred the movie to end in another way but this was just so perfect.

The thrilling experience and epic moments in the movie should always be talked about. It has a lot of plot twist in it. Just my kind of story writing movies (Don'tet the viewers know what is coming next)

Iran is the most magnificent historical and cultural country in the world with so many great and talented artists, scientists, poets and mystics and those who left great works from literature to epiphany of some books like Shahnameh and Masnavi Poem by Rumi that in this film they showed some awesome parts of it so these works are from powerful past centuries and millennia. And with all this discrimination and restriction of the government of Iran at the present time we are glad that we can see Iran shine in cinema and other fields. We are so excited to seeing art of Iran again in the the international scenes. Thank to all actors and directors to create the film.

Following numerous controversies, this much-anticipated film finally hit theaters. With a narrative centered on two significant Iranian historical figures and poets, Molana "Rumi" and his mentor Shams, the storyline held immense promise. However, the execution falls short of expectations. The movie suffers from a confused and inconsistent plot structure, frequently jumping back and forth between various points in the story. Moreover, it tends to focus more on peripheral side stories rather than delving deep into the core narrative. As a result, what could have been an epic Iranian historical biography movie is instead reminiscent of a Turkish romance drama. The film fails to fully capture the essence and significance of its central characters and their historical context. Despite its potential, it ultimately disappoints, leaving viewers wishing for a more cohesive and impactful cinematic experience.

I have extensively researched and studied the narratives surrounding Molana and Shams, and I can attest that their story, and the love that emanates from it, is profoundly moving and inspiring. While the movie does not solely focus on their tale, it adeptly captures its essence.

"Intoxicated" prompts introspection about one's reality, touching upon various themes including love, politics, and warfare. It encourages viewers to question their identity, prompting a reevaluation of life to savor each moment. Furthermore, the film deepens one's appreciation for love's transformative power - a force capable of both igniting and extinguishing conflicts, and transcending divisions such as racism.

In summary, "Intoxicated" is a cinematic experience that has the potential to profoundly alter one's perspective on life. I highly recommend watching this film.
