Polaris

Polaris is a fantastic. Gritty and intense, it's an incredibly well made film. I was immediately drawn in by the mesmerizing Alicia Bachleda as Baran, a war photographer struggling with PTSD. Full of secrets she must conceal from her husband, Poorya (excellent performance as well by Bahram Rahda), Baran wrestles with her truths in a performance that is truly captivating. Strong and solid performances, a complex drama that tackles war, PTSD and love, Polaris is something every movie lover will appreciate. Highly Recommend.

With beautiful imagery and inherent complexity, this film is mesmerizing. Soudabeh Moradian really brings us into the world of ptsd through a female perspective. It is a very forward thinking piece about a relationship and personal struggle told through the point of view of a woman. I appreciated the power of female bonding that I experienced in this film. I found it to be compelling, relevant and refreshing.

What a terrific indie film!! The story grabbed me right out of the gate. Bravo to the writer and director, Soudabeh Moradian. He did such a good job! I thought the film moved along at a nice pace. I was engaged throughout. The acting was spot on! Casting did a really good job in this area. I liked all of the actors. In particular the lead actress Alicja Bachleda. This film scores a thumbs up from me!!

Filmmaker Soudabeh Moradian provides a very gripping look at wartime through the lens of a photographer suffering PTSD. This is a super gritty, intense film that you have to watch.
