I love this movie

#SPOILERS AHEAD *So the review* It took me a while to get to know the entire cast because it was my first (in a long time ) iranian movie. But once I got introduced with the cast, and their relationship with each other, it became easier to relate with them. The way they have fun, the excitement of the kind of trip they go on, is so much like us. *Fast forwarding...* I really liked the cinematography, especially in the scene where elly is shown for the last time. We have to see her running, having fun with the kite for excruciating few minutes, while something very terrible is happening behind, but we can't see it, because it's not in the frame. Then suddenly we just see the kite flying, and elly is no longer in the frame, we suddenly know that something terrible has happed to her too. *this, my friend, is one of the best cinematography I have ever seen, and this is the exact part where I realise how talented the director is and I should watch more of his films.* Now what i liked the most : I like how it was a mystery from the very beginning, but then it was more of a psychological mystery rather than a whodunit. For them to find out what has happened to elly, they need to find out _About elly_(the title ) because only after they figure out how Elly is, they can find out what must have happened that day. But to find out _About Elly_ they really need to figure out what kind of people they are. This is extraordinary. And her fiancé left thinking that Elly never liked him, which is probably true but he never accepted this fact until elly was gone, and sepideh told him so, So he had to accept the bitter truth in the end. And as ahmad said, "bitter ending is better than endless bitterness" The movie is all about this quote.

a very simple story. Not so much into it. But then, it doesn't fail to convey the point. You can expect every moment of it. You already anticipate what's gonna happen next, yet you still stick around to watch because maybe somewhere you are rooting for the same. Aimee's love for Sutter sure redeems the poor storyline, but the rawness of the movie adds an unexpected depth and sense of connection.

The movie is far too deep for its title. This is what happens in long distance relationships most of the times. It's a very honest tale and carries the big picture, sometimes the decisions we make that feel good in the moment can later lead to so many consequences. And how every thing changes with time.

A very honest tale of modern day love. There are things that we cease to accept, afraid of what would the other person think, but watching this, you can probably relate silently.

When even your most secure relationships put you in a vulnerable position, ripping of your sense of trust and respect, and you cannot even confront them, well what would you do? This movie is exactly about that. It may not liked by many but those who have been through similar situation would feel accurately interepretated.

A very strange, yet a soothing watch. The movie doesn't follow convectional storytelling methods. And it isn't a big,elongated story either. It is just an episode in the protagonist's life (which, although changes her entire life) where she feels emotions like love for the first time and yet she beats all the kinds of love that is felt by other more experienced people; All the materialistic dogmas that seperate even the strongest of loves are too trivial for her.

Something very simple. You don't cry in the movie but you definitely feel something strong. All the things in the movie have some significance, yet they are shown in a subtle way. Even the complex human emotions are portrayed in an easy and elegant manner, and that is the beauty of it.
