Penny and Ramin

About This Movie

So, 'Penny and Ramin' is this intriguing little drama by Gilad Lippa. It’s all about a wayward filmmaker trying to reconnect with an ex-fling, and honestly, the park they choose is almost a character in itself, loaded with their shared memories. The pacing is deliberate, almost meandering like a real conversation, which works in its favor—feels intimate, you know? The performances are raw and genuine, capturing those awkward silences and lingering tensions perfectly. There’s this sense of nostalgia and longing that permeates every scene. It’s not flashy, but the practical effects are minimal, focusing more on the characters’ emotional landscapes than anything else. Definitely something to ponder over after watching.
