Orca (2021)
Inspiring Tale of Triumph
"Orca is a remarkable film that tells the story of Elham, a young Iranian woman who defies the odds after surviving a horrifying assault by her husband. Her solace and strength emerge in the water, where she discovers her extraordinary talent as an endurance swimmer. Her unwavering determination to break the Guinness world record for swimming the longest distance with her hands tied becomes a symbol of resilience.
Elham's path is far from easy, as she confronts political, religious, and personal obstacles that challenge her at every turn. The film paints a vivid picture of the oppressive societal norms that restrict women's freedom in Iran. It's a thought-provoking and emotional journey that raises important questions about gender equality and personal freedom.
'Orca' is anchored by a stellar lead performance that captures the depth and complexity of Elham's character. This film is not only a testament to human spirit but also a poignant reminder of the struggles women face in a repressive society. With its powerful storytelling and excellent acting, 'Orca' deserves a solid 9 out of 10."

An Emotional Journey into the Heart of Iran
Hit the Road" is a poignant film that portrays the heart-wrenching story of an Iranian family forced to part with their son for reasons related to their homeland, despite their unconditional love for him. The director of this film has managed to capture the deep emotions of an Iranian mother with an unforgettable strength.
This film is a powerful piece of work that, unfortunately, wasn't allowed to be screened in Iran due to its honest portrayal of the country's reality. It exposes many aspects of life in Iran that are not typically seen on screen, making its viewing all the more remarkable.
The use of forbidden music, even in Iran, adds an extra layer of authenticity to the film while enhancing the emotional impact of each scene. "Hit the Road" is a bold testament to the director's creativity in sharing a profoundly human story despite the obstacles.
The film deserves recognition for its sincerity and its ability to touch the audience's heart by exploring universal themes such as family love and the struggle for freedom. A memorable cinematic work not to be missed.
