User Review
Probably the best in Iranian cinema history
Rating: 10/10
There are no words to explain this masterpiece. Keeps you busy for a
few days, makes you think about it, and just leaves you in awe.
The film starts with a simple plot, and ends with much more simplicity.
Farhadi proves to be a real master in storytelling. He is believed to
be one of the best script writers in Iran. But now he seems to be alone
on top, far from his other fellow cinematographers.
The cast is great, but so is the director. No other Iranian movie has
ever been as smart as About Elly in directing the actors and putting
the viewer inside the locations of the film, between the act and close
to the story. The camera acts as one of the key elements in the movie
and the story. Without even a single note of music, and making good use
of spectacular dialogs, the 2 hour journey will come to an end in a
shocking way.
About Elly was honored the best film by Iranian film critics, with a
sweeping 17 from 19 votes.
