I must say I was really shocked by this film in a good way. Based on the trailer I was expecting a romcom, and while there are some elements of that the story delves into so many different areas.
It is an exploration of the immigrant experience, sexuality, mother daughter relationships, family, religion and so much more. There's a lot crammed in and these themes are all explored pretty well.
The structure of the film is somewhat unusual, bringing in different perspectives and protagonists, and I'm not entirely sure if this worked. It made the runtime feel a tad too long but this isn't a major criticism.
One thing I really loved about this film was the performances, particularly from Leila Mohammadi in the lead role. She was a great protagonist to root for and connect to and instantly drew me in.
The style of the film was also pretty solid. At times it was really vibrant and energetic with some great music choices throughout.
A surprising film that will be sure to draw you in with one of its many themes!
