In 1970s Iran, Marjane 'Marji' Statrapi watches events through her young eyes and her idealistic family of a long dream being fulfilled of the hated Shah's defeat in the Iranian Revolution of 1979. However as Marji grows up, she witnesses first hand how the new Iran, now ruled by Islamic fundamentalists, has become a repressive tyranny on its own.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Worth to see. I've seen it 3 times, this movie shows us another point of view about Iran, the point of view of an Iranian who's also suffering all the massive effects of the Iranian Revolution. The media isn't showing what some Iranians have done to escape from the revolution

A style so simplistic, yet all characters are able to be identified. Carrying a story with twists and turns, as any life does, this story makes me feel like I could be her, but I also wish to meet her. Liked it.

This was one of the worst movies I've ever had the misfortune to sit through. There was no plot, no joy - but relentless misery, and a hit-you-over-the-head message landing with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, over and over and over again. I liked the artwork, thought the start boded well, and settled in to a meandering tale. If the idea was to push the viewer to want to play in traffic, then it was a success. The main character was completely unsympathetic despite the horrific things that happened to her and her family. This is a film made about a terrible time and injustice done to millions. Don't think I'm unsympathetic to any of that. Just please don't make anyone watch this movie to get the point.

I thought the film was boring because it is not a film I would normally watch also I didn't get in to the film because of it being in black and white. Good things about the film are that it uses good techniques by putting emphasis using just the colours black and white. Also the film would not work without the setting of the film being in Iran. A bad thing about the film is that it has a lot of swearing and bad treatment of women. In conclusion the film has good points but I don't like it because it is not my type of film even though it shows good techniques. i would not watch this film again but other people might enjoy it more than i did
