mohammad-nazeryan The dance scenes were very nice and attractive but the dialog and other story was a bit exaggeration!
sas2014 The content of this movie is soft and 1/100 of the sad reality of youth living in that godforsaken country. if the catch you laughing/dancing/singing they beat you & call you whores. While the real animals basiji and their whores, get paid to torture and kill young boys and girls. this is our reality for 37 years. I left and anyone who could left. If you stay, you become depressed, put in prison or drug addict. that is what the ayatollahs want. watch this film and feel lucky that most basic human rights like enjoying music is not taken away from you
angelofvic If you like dance movies, this is for you. It's comparable to the best true-story dance movies like 'Mao's Last Dancer', 'Dancing Across Borders', and so on. If you liked those movies, you will love this.It's well cast, well acted, well danced, and very interesting and dramatic. I loved it! Highly recommended for dance-movie fans.The lead character is especially well cast, and he dances marvelously, with passion and beauty and skill, while also being an excellent actor.
Ryan Gee This was a very well made film! After watching the movie, I learned a lot about Iran and their views on dancing. Pretty intense! The boy who played the role of Afshin Ghaffarian, the dancer, did an amazing job. Frieda Pinto also played a role in this movie, and was interesting to learn about her character. Everyone had their specific role in the movie, telling the story of what really happens there. Its a very wild thought to think about what it would be like to live away from home, and the type of lifestyle some people see in the middle east, where this takes place.If you like interesting stories that are true, you will love this movie!Hands down one of the more interesting movies i have ever seen.
