Hayat- Iranian movie review(link given below the review)

Iranian movies have always been special experience for the viewers with its uncomplicated but a relevant story on Iranian context  let it be Children of Heaven , A separation or Baran.And we can add another one to this list..."Hayat".

Hayat is the story of a girl and her brother and sister(small baby) and her strugglr to write one exam in her life. Her father is taken to hospital suddenly and her mother accompanied him.She has to do all her work,prepare food for brother and have to take care of the baby before going to school for the exam. And a numerous incidents happens in between which prevents the girl from going to school in time.Whether the girl writes the exam is the main theme of the film.

Its such a tiny plot, but the script is so engaging that we actually run with the girl for the whole span of 1 hr 18 mins.We feel the same frustration,agony,anxiety and desperation as the girl feels in the movie as it proceeds to the climax and I really got impatient after a point of time that I jumped from the chair.This is the true success of the film.It also displays a lovely brother- sister relation whether the brother does everything to help his sister to reach the school in time.
The children are the main characters and they performed it in the most natural way that girl has given a terrific performance And what a baby!!! i have never seen a less than a year baby perform like this in a film.

Overall this is another brilliant Iranian movie and I guarantee that you will definitely be impatient and frustrated throughout the movie and at the end you'll have a smile on your face :)
