Hoor's Tears

About This Movie

Hoor's Tears is a fascinating piece, though the director remains a mystery. The film dives deep into familial bonds and the echoes of the past, all wrapped in a tense atmosphere. There's a haunting quality to the sound design - you can almost feel the sirens piercing through the quiet alley. The pacing may feel deliberate, letting moments linger, which amplifies the emotional weight of Granny Ali's looming presence. The performances are raw, capturing the complexity of love and loss. It stands out in its use of practical effects to enhance the storytelling, especially in the Jaluyeh sessions that feel almost ritualistic. It’s not an easy watch, but it certainly leaves an impression.
