Gholam (2017)
Thought-provoking look at London's Iranian diaspora
11 June 2017 - 3 out of 4 users found this review helpful.
A thought-provoking look at the Iranian diaspora, shedding light on some interesting cultural issues that are often overlooked and offering a rarely seen glimpse of the gritty, run down side of London.
The film starts slowly but is thoughtfully paced and builds nicely to a surprising conclusion. Shahab Hosseini's excellent performance brings out the nuances of a subtle yet powerful script. Refreshing not to be spoon-fed a narrative.
The director's artistic credentials translate well to the screen with the film visually arresting throughout.
