Two Women

About This Movie

Two Women is really something to behold. Set against the backdrop of post-revolutionary Iran, it’s a raw exploration of two architecture students navigating a society in upheaval. The film’s pacing feels authentic, almost like it’s breathing alongside its characters. You can sense the weight of tradition weighing down on them, and Tahmine Milani’s direction captures the tension beautifully. The performances are grounded, portraying the struggle and resilience of women in a challenging environment. It’s not just a story about personal ambition; it’s also a commentary on the systemic obstacles they face. The practical effects are minimal, but the emotional depth more than compensates for it. Definitely a film that leaves you contemplating long after it ends.
