This film is great. You should watch it. I don't have anything to say..

The Walnut Tree should be considered the best melodrama film in the history of Iranian cinema. A lively and emotional story with designed mezzanines. Peyman Maadi is one of the best games of his life that he has played in his cinematic career. The director was able to do well by creating bitter sequences.

The Walnut Tree is an influential family melodrama that takes place in the heart of war, but with a true bitter story ... it is one of the best bitter and humane films in Iranian cinema.

From Peyman Maadi's excellent acting in creating inner feelings .. His acting in Peyman Maadi is an acting class. With a strong director who creates memorable sequences and a camera that serves the story. The ending of this film is one of the brilliant endings. A dreamy and beautiful but bitter ending; The end of the fate of the lost daughter of this father who could not find her and died without seeing her. One of the special advantages of this film is its excellent music, which is one of the most influential music.

The screenwriter who became an actor and then gradually expanded this experience. An actor with a background in middle-class films, in the role of ordinary people in Tehran who ruin his life in the face of secrecy and violence and reconciliation between a couple. But the "walnut tree" is his first serious experience; Apart from all that, his encounter with an ordinary man is of descent, a man who must forget all that "ordinary urbanity" and become an "Avesta able to build" in a village near Sardasht. This is the biggest risk of the "walnut tree"; Trust in an actor who is a familiar face and is supposed to play the role of a simple Kurdish worker. The brilliance of performing Maadi is not in the correct tone and utterance of Kurdish words, whose skill in restraint, controlling the senses, is a performance rather than an explosion. A film with such a feeling, which mostly plays with the human soul, stimulates the actor to perform to the maximum. But Maadi, with the control of the Mahdists, has turned into a mini-mall, and the result is a torrent of pain that breaks every person's back. The conscious and intelligent choice of director-actor has helped to convey the feeling to the audience not through expression but through control and avoidance of expression, and therefore, this is probably the best Maadi play of all these years.

When you watch "Walnut Tree", think about yesterday, think about what we left behind, think about today and see how hard we all lived and what hope we had for life. We have come here from the heart of the apocalypse.

The great game of Peyman Maadi should not be taken into account in Kurdish language and face design ... Playing with senses, playing with eyes, playing with situations, facial mimics and body language is one of the winning cards of his game.

Peyman Maadi's play in this film is an exception One should not even miss the brilliant filming of this film ... a camera that tells the story on its own and follows in the footsteps of this suffering father.

I think that everyone in the world have to watch this movie cause this is the best Iranian movie that I ever watched. Even though I'm Iranian there are a few movies that I watched and I'll Watch them again & again cause they're awesome. The music is really good, and actors act really well, and story I can't describe that how it drowned me. Everyone in the world please watch this movie but don't watch it as a guy who says its an Iranian movie and I'm sure its a trash, watch it as a human.

This film is really in praise of a human being and life. In fact, it's a bitter and beautiful symphony of suffering human beings. The real story of this film is a shocking document on the real face of war. Damn the war and its supporters ..

"Walnut Tree" is one of those films that was made at the right time, and this shows the ingenuity of its creator. In a situation where the country is in a historic moment, the Mahdavian film is against oblivion. It reminds us of what a horrible phenomenon war is and how it sacrifices innocent people. "Walnut Tree" is an anti-war film. A humane and breath-taking film. The deep bitterness that comes from the reality of war. First, the film is written based on a true story, and the director wrote his film quite realistically. Peyman Maadi has played the right story about the character of the heroic man who plays his role.

This movie is the voice of the voiceless, the voice of those who underwent this genocide and are forgotten in the history. The last time a movie made me cry was Schindler's List (1993), and I cried with this one too.

My respect to those who made a contribution in making this masterpiece.

Best movie in the history undoubtedly It shows what Sardasht people have been through I'm absolutely speechless Best movie ever. I've never seen something like this before. It's even better than Chernobyl
