The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
It took me a while to get to know the entire cast because it was my first (in a long time ) iranian movie. But once I got introduced with the cast, and their relationship with each other, it became easier to relate with them. The way they have fun, the excitement of the kind of trip they go on, is so much like us. *Fast forwarding...*I really liked the cinematography, especially in the scene where elly is shown for the last time. We have to see her running, having fun with the kite for excruciating few minutes, while something very terrible is happening behind, but we can't see it, because it's not in the frame. Then suddenly we just see the kite flying, and elly is no longer in the frame, we suddenly know that something terrible has happed to her too. *this is one of the best cinematography I have ever seen, and this is the exact part where I realise how talented the director is and I should watch more of his films.* Now what i liked the most :I like how it was a mystery from the very beginning, but then it was more of a psychological mystery rather than a whodunit. For them to find out what has happened to elly, they need to find out _About elly_(the title ) because only after they figure out how Elly is, they can find out what must have happened that day. But to find out _About Elly_ they really need to figure out what kind of people they are. This is extraordinary.And her fiancé left thinking that Elly never liked him, which is probably true but he never accepted this fact until elly was gone, and sepideh told him so, So he had to accept the bitter truth in the end.And as ahmad said, "bitter ending is better than endless bitterness" The movie is all about this quote.
This film is incredible. It throws you into this group of friends that you immediately feel part of and the fast pace makes it even more exciting without even having to go with a big plot. The movie really takes it time to tell this story without rushing it and the non-chalant acting fits the film perfectly, it's quite intriguing.The camera movements give the film the action to prevent it from being boring and it achieves this perfectly. You can quite lose yourself while watching the movie.A simple plot and the excellent making of the film complement each other and is definitely a must-see for fans of great dialogues and fellow aestheticians.
Awful, boring, slow, disgusting, rubbish movie.There is no story, no twists, nothing interesting.I did not enjoy 1 minutes of this movie.This movie was just made for the sake of making a movie.No purpose, no meaning, nothing to conclude.Stupid story that does not make sense.
A group of friends go to the shore for a long weekend. One of them brings her friend Elly with the intention of introducing her to their divorced friend. About halfway through the weekend, she disappears. There's reason to believe that she may have left without telling anyone, but there's also reason to believe that she may have drowned. As the remaining folks look for her, and further consequences of her disappearance are revealed, cracks in the relationships are revealed and deepen. As with "A Separation", Farhadi takes a genre procedural plot and turns it into a drama about the morality and consequences of our decisions.
