The story of the movie was a little bit strange for me, because a few years ago the same thing happened to me not with Hamlet, but with "Crime and Punishment", so could feel an interconnection between the story and me. In my opinion, leading actors were great, in a way that you can see the feeling of DOUBT (Tardid, translation of the name of the movie in original language) in the eyes of Siyavash, but about the supporting roles, the director had far better choices. Selection of locations was in accordance with the atmosphere of the film, and sound track could make the audience feel like being with actors. Finally, I believe that although there were some gaps and illogical happenings like interference of police at the end, but this picture was a CREATIVE COPY of one of the most outstanding classical plays, and I worth watching.

Best 2009 Iranian movie
Steadyboy-138627 August 2010
When I started to watch this movie, I couldn't stand it for more than 30 minutes and I said to myself, this is another Iranian film with no story. so I stopped the player and watched another movie.I guess it was because of all running and chasing in the beginning of the movie which was bothering.However two weeks later I came home and found the family watching Tardid, but it was the second half of the movie, and bang! i couldn't believe it was the same movie, it had everything specially the story. So I watched it from the beginning and I enjoyed an Iranian movie after a long time. What amazed me the most was the story.It wasn't about poor families, politic issues, dark side of the society, ... No,it was about a rich family and the suspicious death of Siavash's father that turns to a complicated murder case. the story is strange but the atmosphere of the movie is stranger which is very well managed by director. Actors do their job great fully, specially Radan and Komeili. I just love this movie and suggest you watch it, but be patient.
