Editor’s note: Our short take on The Persian Version (2023): A confident blend of Comedy, Drama, Romance, focused more on tone than spectacle. With Maryam Keshavarz at the helm, the film feels purposeful and well-paced. Performances (especially Layla Mohammadi, Niousha Noor, Kamand Shafieisabet) give the story human stakes. Clocking in at 1h 48m, the pacing is controlled, with room to breathe. Reception is mixed; it works best if you’re in the mood for its specific tone. The marketing line “Based on a true story… sort of.” isn’t just flair; it’s fairly accurate. Put it on your list—especially if you’re after mood and texture.
