The beginning of the movie was great, but everything that followed was nonsensical. The actors, including the children, were amazing, and the story was surprisingly good. I highly recommend this movie because it offers a unique perspective. However, there are many aspects of the movie that I do not comprehend. For instance, the director gave enough hints to explain why Iman and his family fled Iran, but then summarized the whole movie with one dialogue in which Iman reveals he is gay to the case officer. This seemed unnecessary since the movie had already portrayed this aspect.
Additionally, everything after the performance night seemed unnecessary and could have been omitted from the movie. The movie should have concluded with the wife playing piano, the children cheering, and Iman's expression. I am still unsure about what the movie was trying to convey. Was it about Iman, the challenges faced by the gay community in Iran, the difficulty of decision-making, or asylum seekers? Although the movie touched on many topics, as a whole, it did not make much sense.
