About This Movie

48 Hours (2022) offers a raw and intimate look at the struggles of a father trying to reconnect with his daughter after years apart. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of each moment to sink in—every second feels crucial. Azadeh Moussavi’s direction captures the tension of Nader's limited time, creating an atmosphere thick with emotion and urgency. The performances are solid, especially the lead, who embodies the complexities of remorse and hope. It isn’t flashy; it’s more about the quiet moments that resonate. Practical effects are minimal, but the focus on the human experience makes it distinctive. You can almost feel the ticking clock as Nader navigates the challenges of forging a bond with a child he hardly knows anymore.
