The Persian Version - Official Trailer - Only In Cinemas Now

Every family has its own language… Watch the trailer for #ThePersianVersion, Only In Cinemas Now.
Coming from two countries at odds with each other, Iranian-American Leila (Layla Mohammadi) strives to find balance and embrace her opposing cultures, while boldly challenging the labels society is so quick to project upon her. When her family reunites in New York City for her father’s heart transplant, Leila navigates her relationships from arms length in an effort to keep her “real” life separate from her family life. However, when her secret is unceremoniously revealed, so are the distinct parallels between her life and that of her mother Shireen (Niousha Noor).
Punctuated by a bright color palette, snappy comedic relief, and vibrant dance numbers, The Persian Version delivers an honest portrayal of a woman who remains unapologetically herself, blended seamlessly into a heartfelt story about family, belonging, and the undeniable influence of pop music.
Winning both the Audience Award and the Best Screenplay Award at this years Sundance Film Festival, writer-director-producer Maryam Keshavarz delivers a crowd pleasing film that is a compelling, intelligent, and timely story of both the Iranian, and the Iranian-American, experience

A legal action should be taken against this movie. How could they insult our belief and Imam e Zamana as. Shame on the writers, directors, producers and actors of this movie. This movie should be banned. They have no right to abuse about any ones belief. How could be this a Iranian movie? Irani people are strong believers of Imam e Zamana al ajal they cannot give permission for this movie. Soon the people involved in it will be punished.

[@syedarubabfatimaa]

Exactly 💯💯

In America, there is freedom of speech and religion, people make fun of Jesus just as much when most of us are Christian. Take a seat.

[@sadiefaithandersen4934]

Your entitlement is hilarious, if you don't like the movie, don't watch it.

[@sadiefaithandersen4934]

Legal action- LMFAO it's all legal

[@Zaibakousar-qk6ll]

[@s.malikaabidi]

This movie which aimed to show the Iranian beliefs and lifestyle is totally not what it meant to be. The houses and traditions were not at all Iranian and more like Indian. And not only this, the WORST of all was how the filmmakers and the writers as well as the actors decided to stoop as low as they can by deciding that it was somehow okay to be disrespectful to the Muslim beliefs!! By saying that Imam e Zamana (AJTF) appears out of no where in a suspicious way and could come in the form of an animal (Nauzubillah) was absolutely vile! Calling the beliefs of Shia Muslims magic and whatnot. How is it okay to be disrespectful to the religious beliefs of a community while unsuccessfully trying to depict their culture? I felt absolutely disgusted and triggered by seeing that my beliefs are now going to be presented by someone who's not even close to knowing the reality, in such a twisted way.

[@hasnennaqvi5134]

No matter which religion you belong to or which community you belong to, disrespecting any religions sacred beliefs is an immoral and highly disingenuous thing to do and such things should never be supported as they first of all hurt the feelings of millions of people and also creates clashes between people and disrupts the peace of a society overall....Flop👎👎👎👎

[@awaisraza3335]
