Jodaeiye Nader az Simin (2011)
What's the point of this movie?
I am a 54-year-old woman and I saw this movie with my 78-year-old father. Neither one of us could really see a point to this movie. First, we agreed that the couple showed no love for each other, so it didn't seem all that tragic that they were separated. I thought the point might be showing the Dominoe effect of how one thing leads to another until things get really out of hand. My father thought the point could either be showing the consequences of several people lying or the consequences of the father's stubbornness in not asking his wife to stay. Perhaps the point of the movie was simply to serve as a vehicle for making social commentaries.
We were also very disappointed that there was no ending to the story. There was more than one unanswered question. In the end we never found out which parent the daughter chose to live with, nor, in fact, whether or not the couple would get back together. We also never found out what happened to the missing money. At one point the father said that it was the exact amount of the caretaker's salary. However, both my father and I thought the caretaker was sincere about not taking the money. Did the mother take it when we saw her counting money near the beginning of the movie? If so, why would it be the same amount as the caretaker's salary. Another unanswered question is why the caretaker's husband allowed her to keep returning to take care of the elderly father instead of doing it himself as it appeared he had agreed to do. Had he gotten another job at a motorcycle shop?
Lovers and Friends (2006)
Worst movie I have ever seen
This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen. It looked like someone just picked up a video camera and started filming, casting all of their friends in the various parts, none of whom could act. It reminded me of a bad porn movie without the pornography. There was absolutely nothing professional-looking about this movie, and there was almost no storyline. In several parts the sound cut out, but the mouths kept moving. The picture quality was terrible. I couldn't understand much of the dialog. The transitions between scenes looked like they came from a Powerpoint presentation. I feel robbed. The cover was very deceiving. Don't waste your time or money on this movie.
