It's a wonderful beautiful film.

Thought a life of a 12 years old girl, we see how the life of a teen in Iran is like. The nuance and the open ending add a good favour to the film. It lets the audience to interpret and decide which direction to follow and either way the story works great.

The realism style brings us to that world and let us feel what she feels.

Thanks to the symbolism, the poetry, and the metaphor, the film is joyful and light, although the subject is heavy.

Today, still, in many part of the world, womanhood is still considered shameful and unspeakable. Let voice for those who could not speak up.

Don't let the trailer fool you. It's much better film than the trailer show. It's very profound statement about the society. The ending is the best, it says all.

Yes, in the same vein as joker, from different angle.

I'm surprisedly disappointed at this film.

The acting of the grandma is horrible! She is totally over act! Who speaks like that in real life? The other Chinese actors are very bad too. But the grandma is the worst.

I have zero emotion stimulation throughout the whole film. When the grandson cried in the wedding, I found it was annoying, it was exaggerated.

So many plot holes!

Someone who came to USA when she was 6 years old, living with parents who both speak Chinese, keeps a close relationship with her grandmother in China, would speak much better Chinese than the actress does. It doesn't make any sense.

If both parents from China, they speak Chinese at home most of the time!

Although it does make some good points about the culture differences , it's not an authentic movie about Chinese culture; from the angle of film art, it's not a good film.
