Atabai (2020) User Reviews

Beautiful local scenes and great director

[MahsaRostami-96 · 9/10 · 1 January 2022]

This movie is a great Surprise maker. This director should be praised for his beautiful and pure local images. They combined and used language and nature in the best possible way. Maybe if it had a stronger screenplay or a better ending, it could have gotten a better score, but in the end, the artistic and visual beauty of the film could not be denied. I enjoyed and was proud.

Authentic movie introducing a new perspective to Iranian film industry

[hadinozari · 10/10 · 28 January 2022]

With Atabay, Niki Karimi and Hadi Hejazifar have created a new style in Iran's film industry. This can be considered a debut in representing cultural diversity in a country where all the fim industry & show business had so far been only invested and focused on a narrow cener-orianted (Persian) language and culture. Iran is a multi-lingual multi-cultural country where Azerbayjanis have been playing a substantial role in preservation and enrichment of art and culture. Therefore, aside from its successful technical and artistic attributes, Atabay is widely welcomed by people whose cultural legacy has been ignored by and suppressed the mainstream media for many decades. This movie is a wise move towards representation of artistic and cultural diversity in Iran, which is cherished and admired by people and critics. Highly recommended.

Worth to watch

A good Iranian movie with Turkish language, beautiful romantic drama . You should watch it till end , the first half time of film is slow and you think you are wasting your time but then you get involved with it and all make sense .

It'll feel different than any other movie in Iran's cinema history

It has a great and strong story the characteristics and scenes are so realistic and almost make you taste it.

But the movie has some flaws ... the moments when characters talk deeply something feels missing. They feel unpolished and weak. (-1 for that) but the monologues are PURE GOLD.

Music is great its very attractive and the cutscenes are amazingly stunning.

I really liked how the movie ends it was a kinda fresh to me. Never expected that.

Perfect
