    Great movie!
    This is a great movie mainly for two reasons:

    1. The script is not a typical Hollywood storyline. It's very realistic and powerful.

    2. The performances of all actors are superb. In contrast to Hollywood movies, the actors in this movie are not models who decided to move to the film business but real actors.

    Fortunately, there are still cinema people who do not see movies as commercial products for sale with the purpose of bringing enormous profit to the producers but rather works of art. There is still hope for cinema.
