"Love in the Time of Corona"**
Director Shwan Attoof's latest film, "Love in the Time of Corona," has sparked disappointment and frustration among viewers, and for good reason. Despite the director's esteemed background, this film falls egregiously short on multiple fronts.
From the outset, the storyline flounders aimlessly, offering little substance or coherence. It's evident that the narrative lacks a compelling plot, leaving audiences bewildered and disconnected throughout. The attempt to intertwine themes of love and the pandemic feels forced and superficial, failing to resonate with any depth or authenticity.
The performances, notably by acclaimed Kurdish actors Mahir Hassan and Ahmed Jola, are disappointingly lackluster. Their talents are wasted on poorly developed characters who fail to evoke any emotional investment from the audience. One can't help but wonder why such esteemed actors would lend their names to roles so poorly written and executed.
Technical aspects of the film also suffer, with glaring issues in pacing and cinematography that further detract from its already feeble attempts at storytelling. Scenes drag on without purpose, and the visual composition fails to capture even a fraction of the intended mood or atmosphere.
"Love in the Time of Corona" not only fails as a cinematic experience but also raises concerns about the future of Kurdish cinema. Such lackluster productions risk undermining the credibility and potential success of Kurdish filmmaking on a broader stage.
In conclusion, "Love in the Time of Corona" is a regrettable misfire that falls short of expectations on every level. With a disjointed plot, uninspired performances, and technical shortcomings, this film is best avoided by discerning viewers seeking meaningful storytelling and quality filmmaking.
Rating: 1/10 stars.

If I could give this film zero stars, I would., for one day this film is gonna be listed among the "List of the Worst Films of All Times", and the director of the film, Attoof, will be listed among the the "List of the Worst Directors of All Times". Save the 10 dinar bill in your wallet, or give it to charity, do anything with it instead of paying to see this movie. You will receive more amusement watching a paint dry than watching this gross out piece of nothing. Not even an immature child will find this film amusing. It uses the same three jokes the entire movie, all talks and nothing to say. Game over man, game over, Atoof, stop making movies for god sake.
