Finnur G @RT95236066 Sep 30, 2026 The movie is beautiful, it is slow and calming. There are a few strange choices like in the actor for Churchill. A very pleasurable calming watch. More visual than full in the sense of a story. Nevertheless you are carried through the story visually. The film is also unique. A few very beautiful props and costumes. Interesting to see the animals. There is of course a poetic feel to everything. Definetly Wirth seeing especially for people tired of senses violence or other modern nonsense. Made me want to learn Arabic and to visit the places portrayed. The film is a bit long which you will like if you find it soothing and wonderful as I did. The music score is also fine, nit high strung at all keeps the calm feeling and is probably well worth listening to on its own. Bravo well done.

I love how it brings awareness to an important era, and the acting/ directing/ production brought me back in time. Thank you.

Early on in Tehran she says she wants to learn Farsi and yet a few scenes later she hasn't even picked up "Thank you" when she's at a market. It's also odd that one British ambassador mocks Queen Victoria and that the 3rd embassy secretary sounds American (which he is: James Franco).
