Reading Lolita in Tehran

Each culture has their own moral and values leave them alone.... Not everybody want a western civilization in their homes.... Using contraceptives and hastened lifes... Each culture has its own beauty and value leave it to be.

All fathers want their daughters having a beautiful and peaceful life not a life full of nightlife, boyfriends and alcohol.

Each culture has its own beauty and value leave it to be.

Let's start with the story or rather the lack of one There was no clear plot or direction and what was there was so disjointed and unengaging that I found myself completely uninterested in what was happening It felt like the filmmakers were trying to make something profound, but ended up with an incoherent mess instead The characters were another huge letdown None of them were remotely compelling or worth caring about They felt flat and underdeveloped and I never once found myself emotionally invested in their struggles I was just waiting for it to end, hoping for some kind of resolution or revelation, but nothing ever really happened The acting was absolutely atrocious The performances were stiff, lifeless, and completely unconvincing. It felt like none of the actors had any genuine connection to their roles, and their dialogue often came off as forced and unnatural. This lack of chemistry between the cast really sunk the whole film And then there's the direction wow. Just... wow. It was an absolute disaster. The pacing was sluggish, the cinematography was uninspired, and the overall tone of the film felt more like a high school project than a professionally made movie The direction did nothing to elevate the material, and in fact, it only made the film more excruciating to watch In short, Reading Lolita in Tehran is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It fails on every level, from the plot to the performances to the direction. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone it's an exhausting, forgettable experience that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Only a woman who has lived in Iran and felt every moment of this film with her whole being can truly understand its real value someone who has endured the pain can describe it It may not captivate the global audience but every scene is one we have lived Pain in Persian language reads the same from every side it is still pain.

A literature teacher returns to Iran after the revolution in 1979 and with her own eyes, which get wetter and wetter as the film goes on, sees the changes that happen in her beautiful country and how women suffer injustice, violence, and some of them are violently raped and executed. It looks unbearable but she stays and even continues to teach this banned Western literature in secret. Her story is heartbreaking, and with her eyes we see other stories and broken lives; but what is even more important is that maybe, hopefully, in the future the people of Iran will be able to watch this. As part of their history. As part of their troubled past.

An israeli director making a film about Iran already tells whatever is needed to say. Absolutely ridiculous and pathetic to say the very least. This is an insult to human intelligence really, do these guys think we're all sleeping here?! Hahah like an american making a movie about russia.....yeah, NOPE! It doesn't work like that. Golshifteh also a total sellout clearly, these people have no dignity whatsoever. EMBARRASSING.
