Actor

The film suffers from several shortcomings that significantly mar its overall quality. The pacing feels drawn out, making the narrative progression sluggish. Characters are weakly developed, offering little for viewers to connect with or find believable, and scenarios often veer into the realm of the implausible, failing to reflect genuine human experiences. The usage of outdated equipment and technology undermines the film's credibility, and the inability to create a convincing sense of place and time further muddies the audience's comprehension and engagement. Lastly, the film's depiction of Iran doesn't resonate with reality, making it difficult for viewers to suspend disbelief and become fully immersed. A more thoughtful and detailed approach could potentially rectify these issues.

Besides best actors you can have in the market and good storyline, it still have major lack of charisma.

It starts with a great potential and powerful storyline and you will watch episode after episode and enjoy the class of acting by these well respected actors and actresses and the new genre of storyline that makes you feel you need to watch this piece but after a certain point, it will start to loose all of that charm of the story and the only thing that makes you watch it until the end, is the talent that is in the series.

For me it's just having same problem as the rest of the persian movies.

It's just not good enough! It's having too much margin and the main story is getting lost.

A film with a new idea! But any new ideas will not necessarily succeed if they are not accompanied by good writers and directors!

The actors of this film have done fairly well, but the events of the film are not so much exciting, and for example, I only see it because of the lack of a new Iranian film.

Tried to be a special movie! Headline scenes and... Be special! Ideas are special! But sometimes certain things don't necessarily give superiority to a film, but they have to be managed and used well.

Some people like Hanieh Tavassoli have tried to be great in their roles, but they were not very successful in doing so, I recommend seeing the film altogether, but not as a successful film, but merely for entertainment alongside other films...

"Actor," the latest series from Nima Javidi, is a pretentious and frustrating mess that squanders its intriguing premise and talented cast. This self-indulgent series, which follows two struggling theater actors living in an abandoned theater, is a tiresome exercise in style over substance.

The show's biggest flaw lies in its meandering and pointless plot. Despite the interesting setting of an abandoned theater, "Actor" fails to build any engaging storylines. Instead, it gets lost in endless scenes of aimless wandering, pointless conversations, and pretentious attempts at symbolism. The series lacks focus and direction, making it a chore to watch.

Furthermore, the characters are poorly developed and unrelatable. Ali and Morteza, the two leads, are frustratingly shallow and unsympathetic. Their motivations are unclear, and their constant whining and self-pity become tiresome quickly. The supporting cast fares no better, as they are relegated to one-dimensional caricatures with little to offer.

Javidi's direction is equally disappointing. His overreliance on slow-motion shots, long takes, and pretentious visual flourishes adds nothing to the story. Instead, it only serves to highlight the series' lack of substance. The pacing is glacial, and the overall tone is relentlessly bleak and depressing.

Even the technical aspects of "Actor" fail to impress. The cinematography is flat and uninspired, the editing is choppy and incoherent, and the score is forgettable. The production values are surprisingly low for a series from a director of Javidi's caliber.

Overall, this TV series is a misguided and frustratingly pointless series that fails to deliver on its intriguing premise. It is a self-indulgent mess that squanders its talented cast and pretentious direction. Avoid this one unless you enjoy watching paint dry.

I admit the idea for the film was fascinating, but it wasn't really used well.

Things aren't so exciting to persuade you for the next episode.

It has been tried to have the final headline moments and start and... Linked to the film, but the writing of the film is still not surprising and good.

The actors are good, but they could have been better.

In addition, the idea of a film about a few actors and their lives is new in the country, otherwise it has been taken from similar foreign films.

In short, I hope that in the following episodes we will see newer and more beautiful moments. Hopefully this explanation will help you.
