Sobhaneh ba zarafeha

Unfortunately this movie was another disappointment for Persian pop entertainment Very poor copy of th "hung over", and this is not because of limitations in Iran, but lack of proficiency of the writers.

With a positive approach, they had a good concept of localizing the original movie, but the whole scenario was inconsistent and full of lags and disconnects Very slow pace, with stories and characters that are not well defined and developed.

They made some incidents and some good jokes, but it was not well used.

Acting was poor, performances disappointing trying to portray a nihilistic middle age middle class male.

Iranian movie industry had great masters such as Mehrjooyee, Taghvayee and Beizayee but it's sad to see that this skills were not passed to younger generations, and this is only part that can be blamed on the administration for not creating a platform for it.

It was a pure Art directed by Soroush Sehat and the fabulous act of Bijan Banafshekhah.

It's a deep movie, it's a dark comedy which touches your soul and at the same time make you suffer!!!

Although you are suffering watching it at the same time, you can't stop watching this. This is something that keeps you on your seat and make you freeze when the movie ends.

It was a mind-game movie, and watch it if you enjoy deep and dark movies.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of time for you.

All the actors are exactly in place, Bijan Banafshekhah is fitting his role 100% and at the same time the other actors are also having a great impact on the overall development of the movie.

I didn't intend to write a review about this movie at first but when I encountered a very big opposite views as pros and againsts I decided to clarify some points.

If you desire to watch a gentle comedy with smart witticism and great smell of wisdom this is The movie for you, but if your definition of comedy is ridiculous pranks with cheap sexual clowneries and childish stupid behaviors this movie is not recommended.

The movie is so well made, the main reason of which is great director, Sorush Sehhat, and good actors besides a good plot.

It is a little bit in the same line with the movie "hang over" in which funny matters happen to groom on the night of wedding.

Coincidentally this movie is on screen with another so-called comedy which in comparison you find the difference between a gentle comedy and cheap clownery.

I've enjoyed Soroush Sehhat's previous works, but Breakfast with Giraffes was by far the worst. It lacked a coherent storyline, and while the director claimed the movie was about forgiveness, the execution completely missed the mark-if anything, it conveyed the opposite message.

Marketed as a comedy, it was actually a dark drama, and even the occasional comedic moments were predictable, outdated, and at times nonsensical. The title itself felt entirely irrelevant to the film.

To top it off, despite paying for a VIP ticket, Soroush and his team (including Bahram Radan) didn't even stay after the screening for a photo with the audience. Overall, a disappointing experience in every way.

The film isn't a crowd-pleaser, and chances are, if you haven't connected with or appreciated Soroush Sehat's world before, you probably won't enjoy this movie either. But since this is my website, and you're likely here to hear my opinion, I have to say-I didn't like it.

The overall vibe of Breakfast with Giraffes is light and quirky, and the story stems from a concern the director clearly cares about, which is valuable in itself. However, in trying to express that concern, I feel the film loses its way. Honestly, if I hadn't seen the last ten seconds of the movie, I would've said Breakfast with Giraffes was a really bad film. (As it stands, I'll just say it was a bad one.)

Leaving aside the weak storyline and lack of proper character development, I will admit that elements like the soundtrack, cinematography, and humor are above the current standards of Iranian cinema. That's actually what convinced me to add Soroush Sehat's previous film, Dance with Me, to my watchlist.

So yeah-I didn't enjoy this film, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I'd give it a 4.5 out of 10.

P. S. What's up with this hilarious sleazeball version of Bijan Banafshekhah? :)
