About Elly

Writer and director Asghar Farhadi prove once again that he builds his stories based on dubious situations where characters come into conflict due to tensions and mystery. First, he develops each character and their relationship with each other and from there he builds the plot. "About Elly" as well as the "The Salesman", "A Hero", "The Past and the Oscar winner "A Separation", follow the same pattern. Great cast with a beautiful soundtrack.

Beautiful storytelling, keeps one on the edge. A well told, moving, tense, human story. Definitely worth watching and one of the best movies I have watched in a while.

This movie proves that you don't need a big budget, special effects, killer soundtrack. Nice build up to the climax. Terrific and surreal acting, good cinematography and a great storyline. Bravo! Ps:horrible parenting though. Lol

If you are not a fan of actual cinema, keep scrolling and come back when you have gained some taste, but if you adore cinema, do watch this film, as it will be the thrill you have been waiting for since a long time. It may start a bit slow, but don't lose your patience just yet, cause things escalate quickly enough.
