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.

The most significant part of the movie is its unbelievable balance from different aspects. This great movie contains acceptable philosophy concepts, drama scenes, battles and etc. Also the movie beautifully stays between Iranian (Persian) and Turkish culture.

In addition, this masterpiece shows various moral and positive concepts which are definite parts of the story about those great humans. As an example this wonderful movie depicts anti war scenes and dialogues.

Furthermore, fascinating time jumps are a real art and a big plus point about this nice movie. Those time jumps make this biography and historical movies a nice drama one which is interesting for everyone.

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)

The continuous applause from the audience in the theater at the end of the movie clearly indicates how successfully it has delivered its very spiritual message .

The rhythm of the suspicious story telling at the beginning parts of the film ,takes your thoughts and estimation far away from the actual roles of the main characters,that's considered as an achievement of the director that can playfully leave you with mixed feelings towards the characters and their actual intentions through out the flash backs within the scenses..

My congratulations to the whole team for this amazingly done performance.

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.
