Movie Reviews of The Hidden Half
Movie Review: Simple ideas can create beautiful movies
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a big fan of foreign films, but more so of Iranian cinema than others. I am half Iranian and my only setback is I need the subtitles to go along with any of the movies that interest me.
In this movie, the subtitles are sometimes practically invisible to read and yet the acting ( especially by Niki Karimi ) is so real and superb, you can almost draw on what emotions are behind the words. It threw me for a loop this film, mostly because I didn't have any clue what I was about to experience when I put in this DVD. What came about was a really ineteresting movie about secrets, and hidden pasts, and the things and people who shape and help our lives. Just when I thought I'd seen the last of the surprises, this movie surprised me again. I don't want to give away how nice and refeshing it is to see a love story in the most innocent of expressions, no nudity, and no sex. And Iran certainly doesn't invest alot of money into their movie making budgets and it proves that you don't always need these common things to produce a really great movie.
I can say this, there are some movies ( Iranian films ) that just lose my attention or I have to force myself to sit through, and there are others; such as The Hidden Half that you can't even imagine missing for a moment.
I really reccomend this film to anyone who wants to see a well made film. Good acting and and a good story.
And when you finish this one, here are some other great Iranian movies to see:
The Color of Paradise
Children of Heaven
Leila
