The Persian Version weaves a mother and daughter's parallel narratives together with ease, celebrating Iranian-American culture through fresh eyes.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Filmmaker Maryam Keshavarz dips a toe into her own history in The Persian Version, which is finally seeing a limited theatrical release after its world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival. It won the Audience Award for the US Dramatic Competition there, and for good reason.
While the brothers do not get any individual journeys for the most part, seeing as it is a tight 2-hour movie rather than a television series, their scenes still feel lived-in. Each minor interaction is a realistic depiction of sibling support or rivalry, adding to the beautiful chaos that is Leila's life. Another example of said chaos is the fact that, though Leila is a lesbian, we are introduced to her when she sleeps with Maximillian at a costume party after assuming he is a drag queen.
In fact, Leila's arc more than anything is understanding and accepting how much she and Shirin have in common, being two women whose ambition will not be tampered by the disdain of those around them. Those who are not following closely may find it hard to keep track of timelines and perspective shifts, but cue cards and fourth wall breaks are there to keep the audience abreast of new discoveries whether they take place in the past or present.
