Giorgio G @GioBlob Oct 9, 2026 Though fictional, the movie is based on the lives, sufferings and escapes of various athletes from the terror regime in Iran. It's not a simple movie about anybody's conquest in sports, but about the fight against totalitarian authorities who treat athletes like puppets for their political propaganda, but never see them as humans. The movie is deeply touching and makes on realize that so many billions of people around the world live under oppressive regimes, and that being famous does not protect anyone there from control, domination, and even torture or death. 8/10 points.

Ruiguang W @RuiguangW Dec 5, 2025 Embarrassing propaganda from an Israeli director to cast the Iranian government in a bad light, even if justified. This was not motivated by an attempt to bridge the differences between two countries, but by a subtle type of condescending bigotry from the director. See more

spoko s @spoko Sep 22, 2025 Tatami leans heavily on a pair of spectacular performances by Arienne Mandi & Zar Amir Ebrahimi. Both Leila and Maryam came across as remarkably strong, layered characters, and the acting carried all the weight of their impossible circumstances. It was an intensely personal story, with just a glimpse into the depth and breadth of women’s struggle under the religious regime in Iran. Powerful. See more

longtimemoviefan S @RT69985141 Aug 2, 2025 My wife and I having made a HUGE mistake yesterday in wasting 80 minutes of our lives watching the new Naked Gun movie (horrible), we thankfully made up for it big time today in seeing Tatami. Thank you, thank you for saving us! This movie is so, so well made. The script is very well written. The direction and acting is top notch. The editing and choreographed judo fights are so well done (even for us judo neophytes). And filming it in black & white is perfect. Huge kudos to everyone involved in this production...especially to the Iranian co-director for having the guts in joining to direct it (that could not have been an easy decision). The story could not be more timely (including for those of us in America watching what is currently becoming of our country). Thank you again for making this important film. See more
