i typically don’t check my watch while watching a movie, but this time i found myself doing it quite a lot.
the film's premise, focusing on the education of afghan girls and their forced marriages, is promising. however, it fails to explore the topic in a way that keeps the audience engaged throughout. as a result, the movie feels lengthy and tiresome due to its weak execution.
that said, shamila shirzad's performance, much like in sun children, is captivating. the scene where she teaches mehdi hashemi how to write her name was particularly touching.
overall, though, the film feels like a missed opportunity.
