Mon gâteau préféré

It's a fantastic movie! Showcasing a lot of Persian culture, being a very amusing and charming movie, but also hinting to a lot of political topics.

That we are able to watch that movie is a political act by itself which needs its appreciation. But for a movie being made in Iran under this circumstances is incredible. I have never seen that many scenes on the streets of Iran within a movie. Also all of them beautifully shot. Impressive to see what Iranian directors are pulling of. The storyline itself is brilliant as well as the acting. The cinema we were at was full of Iranians laughing and feeling the movie. The atmosphere was magical. If you are in for a wholesome movie with a dramatic twist, go for it. It's an absolut must watch.

The adage "it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" is well-known, but what about people who have the courage to fall in love again? For a 70-year-old Iranian widow, it's a desperate attempt to feel alive again, but it's a bold move for anyone. That is the idea behind a sweet Iranian love comedy that is infused with surprising radicalism.

Mahin (played by the charming Lili Farhadpour) spends her days doing the same things: sleeping in till midday, rushing to answer FaceTime calls from her daughter who lives abroad, taking care of her garden, and visiting the less-than-local market from her home on the outskirts of Tehran. Each scene is portrayed as a nicely framed vignette by co-directors Maryam Moqadam and Behtash Sanaeeha, despite the setting's banality.

Keep an eye on it-words cannot help it. In a society where everyone is scrutinised and evaluated, genuine love endures forever, and it's simple to find if you look for it! This charming story serves as a reminder.

As an Iranian in exile, I watched this film with mixed emotions-laughing throughout but also with a lump in my throat. The film is beautifully crafted, filled with beautiful details that bring the story to life. It offers a powerful portrayal of life in a society where love, joy, and even laughter are suppressed. What makes this film stand out, even more, is its unique focus: for once, the protagonist and the central love story are between two older individuals, a refreshing narrative in cinema.

Even if you're not Iranian, you'll appreciate the universal themes of love, resilience, and the human spirit. It allows viewers to reflect on the quiet but enduring resistance people face in the face of repression, making it a story that resonates beyond cultural boundaries. It evokes both joy and sorrow at the same time.

Reality movie about iranian women life stiles. Very good to watch and understand the culture of Iranian.

She reminds our real grandmothers Living with their decision but under pressure of country rules which don't make sense for them.

Real home design, real dress up Very good acting The man also was real It's also a comedy movie but more like dark comedy Actually living with stupid rules in that country which many people don't believe them are dark comedy in general I recommend the movie for whom want to see a real picture of persian people in iran

Why a review should be this much long !

My god.

I watched this film in my favourite little local art house cinema not really knowing what to expect.

I have come to like films where I can watch other people's lives. People doing every day things. When they are set in different cultures - even more interesting.

Here we follow the life of an elderly woman in Iran and I was so touched by the beauty in the little things, the dinner with her girlfriends, how she spends her day.

The film holds an unexpected surprise that really stuck with me for a long time afterwards. It made me appreciate that I was able to see this film and that I am able to live my life (as a woman) in Europe.

I can recommend this film.
