Amazing, realistic and beautiful.

This is an extremely good realistic movie about a family and it's miserable members. If you don't understand Persian language, you may find it little difficult to read the subtitle and keep up the fast moving documentary style visuals at the same time. But, as the film progress, it's amazing, you will get into it completely. Each character is well defined, there is no good or bad, everything is situation driven. This is the reason I love Iranian films so much. Amazing job on the acting as well.

On the Edge...

Somayeh's found a way to make a leap, from the destitution her family's buried deep, it's an arrangement, there's no desire, no spark or glue or love or fire, but it takes her to a place off the scrapheap. It's a choice that causes chaos and confusion, as she's a pivotal part of the family institution, how will they cope when she has left, although they'll all feel quite bereft, but she's always made substantial contribution.It's a wonderful piece of filmmaking with some top drawer performances that leave you under no illusion of what poverty and drug addiction can lead to. The story flows seamlessly, the dialogue is raw and realistic, as with the rest of this directors films, it drops you into a world you could hardly imagine, a world of people living on the edge.
