About Elly Review


Iranian movies are one of the best movies in the world. They dont really go for complicated issues like what hollywood does. They will elaborate one small matter in life. As small as going out with your friends without telling for family about it.

Its really a small matter in life. I did that a lot. And i even know a friend who fly here and there to the end of the world without her parents knowledge. Just because, well, as always. The reason why we dont wanna tell them is because we dont want them to worry. And when they're worried they'll ask question we dont want to hear.

So, this movie is about a group of friends. Three married couples with their kids. And a single couple who are in the process of getting to know each other. They go to the North of Iran for holiday. And they stay in this old house with nice view of ocean just in their front yard.

The single woman, named Elly. She was mysterious from the start. As they try to fix the old house and try to make things fun and enjoyable around the house. Elly was asked to look after one of the kid who's stubbornly playing in the water.

Suddenly things get tense, and the boy was almost drowned in the ocean. But thank god he was saved by his father. But then, Elly was missing. Early conclusion, Elly is drowned in her effort of helping the boy. But then they all have another thought. What if Elly left the boy alone in the ocean and ran away.

Starting from this point, many issues arise. And it makes us wonder about things we do in our life. Simple things like keeping a secret from our parents can be BIG if something unwanted happen.

This is just a great movie. Intelligent. Full of realism. I recommend everyone to watch this. Its 9.5 out of 10.
