Storyline
Featured review
Not wishing to say too much, this film features a woman faced with a moral dilemma and in essence making her call early in the film. From there we follow her through her day. It is a very slow paced film, and it does what it does with deft touches. It works well doing this, but there is a downside that if the little things aren't holding you, then probably it will feel overly long and padded out. It recently came online and I suspect that it is not the best place, even though it is a good film.
On first watching, I sort of wanted the film to give me more of a harsh base, so that I could understand why Maryam's struggle was not easy, however as I watched I appreciated that it didn't. It gave us small relatable things so that the film was never a done-deal or lacking conflict. Sanjari's performance carries the film, while also fitting well with its tone and pace. She gives a lot with small expressions - eye, jaw line etc, and it works well in the context of this restrained film.
I do think it is maybe too deliberate in how it plays it out with the pace and runtime, but it works as a whole.
