- QuizZar Amir Ebrahimi was initially involved in the film only as a casting director, but was cast as the lead after an actress became fearful of acting without hijab and dropped out of the role at the last minute. Amir-Ebrahimi had auditioned around 50 actresses for the role she would go on to claim. Director Ali Abbasi originally wanted someone boyish, more strong physically for the role of Rahimi, as he saw her as being very young and inexperienced, and really eager to prove herself, and he thought Ebrahimi was too soft and mature to play the character he had in mind. But when he saw Ebrahimi use her life experience to remind him that desperate people make dangerous choices, his vision shifted and she was cast. Ebrahimi's performance was acclaimed and she won the Best Actress award at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.

Recensione in evidenza
The events that inspired this story made international news. I suspect some of what is on the screen actually happened.
A serial killer is strangling the junkies who work as prostitutes in the holy city. This is controversial, inducing terror and mistrust. No one wants to be killed or suspected, though some openly praise this illegal activity. A very determined journalist comes to town to investigate. We accompany the journalist and meet many characters whose words and actions inform us about the situation. We also learn pretty quickly exactly who is doing the killing by closely following along for some shocking incidents. Who and how is revealed, along with an uncomfortable social context. Much of the movie is an intimate visit with the journalist and the killer whose activities are being investigated, and the suspense increases. After a while the audience is led to suspect that the civil and clerical authorities might be okay with wholesale murder, under certain circumstances, and the journalist will not stop, taking crazy chances.
The artistry is first class throughout. The way all of this is presented makes us feel closer to every character, so we can better consider how we are the same or different, in our social context. Dangerously determined journalist versus homicidal maniac has been done before but this movie is exceptionally good and most entertaining.
