The Distance Love Will go
9 March 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Mizra asks his sons, Barat and Audeh, to go on a journey to find his ex-wife, Hanareh, and help her. His sons think they are still married and she ran away. The father won't tell them the real truth because he knows they won't help him if they're not still married. He has been told she is in trouble, but he doesn't know how.

Mizra went on the journey to find Hanareh, Barat just went along for the ride, and Audeh went to find himself a wife that could produce him a son. I thought this movie was interesting because it kept you wanting to know what happened next. On their journey they had many stops to try and find out exactly where Hanareh was. At each of the stops it was as though something else aside from finding her was going on with one of the brothers.

Since the movie was in Kurdish, Persian, and Arabic reading the subtitles made it harder to pay attention to every detail that was going on in the movie, but didn't keep me from understanding what was going on. The subtitles were hard to read at some points because they were yellow and it seemed to blend in at times. This was when my attention was taken away from the actual picture part of the movie to try and understand what they were saying. It was easy though to get back into the movie after I understood what they were saying.

Since this is a more romantic movie with them being in the search for love I think women would enjoy this movie more than men. The long journey the family takes all in the search for love ends up being broken up. In the end not everyone finds what they were looking for… or did they?
