    Absolutely Beautiful

    This is the kind of movie that requires your full attention the whole time and must get watched with your brain's imagination fully activated! The story layers and the hidden meaning in every element of the environment make this movie worth watching many times. The camera, the whole method of filming, and the creativity in the CGI works are also beautiful to the eye! I loved it and I can't say that for many movies.. and I suggest for those who want some food for mind, and want their minds to overload with data that would trigger the imagination to the Moon and back!

    Best movie👌

    PERFECT 👌 best movie i seen in Iran. Recommended to every one to watch
    7mohafinearts

    Very good theatre, combined with photography.

    It has some brilliant ideas, but boring some times. It also has serveral clues to iranian film masterpeices which are not familiar for international audiences. In general, it is not a common movie or theatre and is worth to watch.

    my favorite Iranian film of the year

    Everything about this movie is perfect, I've watched it four times and would do it another 40 times. The cinematography is amazing in spite of the film being shot in a barber shop, acting's awesome especially of Ali Nasirian and the story's great. Highly Recommended!!!
