    Realistic and Sentimental

    by lowrancesr

    A fantastic movie! Visually simplistic and stunning at the same time. This isn't the animation of Shrek and Cars, that's for sure. The story is touching, based on the filmmaker's life growing up in Revolutionary Iran. Glimpses of Iranian history give it a realistic quality without whitewashing. If you want to see a sentimental but critical Iranian movie, this is a great one to choose.

    Refreshingly Different

    This movie definitly is not for everyone. You must be able to think outside the box. I had fun figuring out who did what voice. I enjoyed it. I took my mother for her birthday. She enjoyed it as well.

    Persepolis

    I love this movie. The narration by Marjane, the main character, draws you into her story. As a woman, I related to all the issues she faces as young girl. I also learned about how the 8 year war between Iraq & Iran affected real, everyday people. Even though this story takes place in a completely different culture, its themes are universal.
    The only negative thing I can say is that it ended so abruptly, and I want to learn more about
    Marjane's story! I will attend a sequel if they make one, take a look at all of the author's graphic novels and childrens' books--perhaps purchasing those as well!!
