    • Quotes

      Salehi: What's up?

      Rahim Soltani: I don't want this to be shared.

      Salehi: Believe me, when he was speaking, I nearly cried. Whoever sees it will be overwhelmed.

      Rahim Soltani: I don't want my son to be seen like that.

      Salehi: It's to your advantage and his. People will be on your side. Even that woman may see it and call you.

      Rahim Soltani: No, delete it.

      Salehi: Think a bit... The kid said nothing bad.

      Rahim Soltani: I don't want...

      Salehi: You think it's only about what you want? The reputation of all of us is at stake.

      Rahim Soltani: You want it back through my son's stutter?

    A true hero defeated by Social Media
    Another great and mind blowing movie by Farhadi. Like his other movies, the story starts like a small snowball rolling down the hill and devastates lives.

    In this story, the snowball is the social media leading to defaming a good deed from a humble hero down the hill. Amazing storyline! Many audiences gave this movie low rating as the ending didn't satisfy their expectations. The fact is, we are constructing the end ahead of the story and get disappointed if we are seeing it the same.
