Such beautiful casting and deeply affecting performances - the mother and daughter relationship feels genuine and I saw myself in them. Zar Amir Ebrahimi has such expressive eyes, constantly a sea of emotions. And the daughter’s outfits were so beautiful and time specific. I’m glad someone in the audience asked about them.

It’s really so cool to see Aussie 1st gen stories, especially since I’ve mainly seen American and Canadian specific ones. I love women, I love women and how we look out for one another. Our strength. There’s nothing like it. Even more excited to see Holy Spider now and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s to come from Noora Niasari. Such a tough movie to make, beautiful and heart wrenching.
