The movie fails at projection of Iran's society condition and its crisis, the story line is thorn apart and follows no intentional logic ,bad performances and weak dialogues complete the disappointment of watching a movie that is praised in some important festivals.
As an Iranian I believe the director is far from the current condition of Iran and although it seems like she concerns about the existing problems in Iranian society she fails to dig into those obstacles. feeble decoration design, locations and character definition are other aspects in which the movie fails, its full of goofs and unrealistic situations and unexplained incidents (eg. as an Iranian director she should know that 16 yr old teenagers are not allowed to drive in that country and more importantly the traditional relation between members of a family).
The emotional relationship between the two girl was supposed to be the center of the storyline although it never engages in those emotions and leaves the viewer unattached to the movie.
All in all, to watch this picture is a waste of time and the only thing that can possibly make someone to watch it to the end is the beauty of Sarah Kazemi.
