An undiscovered gem of Iranian Movie treuasure!
ShahramMirkhani2 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
When faced with an adapted screenplay, we unconsciously become a bit rigid. However, interestingly, after watching the film, we realize that this work is truly a free interpretation, summarized in just a line or two of narrative. Despite its success in localizing the story to a new environment while remaining faithful to the original author's message, it offers a different, more mature, and even more impactful perspective than the original masterpiece - which is unparalleled. Involuntarily, we stand in awe of this successful challenge and tip our hats.

The play 'Meeting with the Old Lady' by Friedrich Dürrenmatt is a masterpiece in itself, but within this masterpiece, a magnificent creation has been reborn, one that truly deserves the term 'Original.' Alongside the exceptional ensemble performances, many of whom have been sidelined and underutilized for years due to unfortunate circumstances and the sorry state of Iranian cinema, their incomparable values come alive again upon viewing this film. From the well-crafted screenplay and relevant dialogues to the brilliant cinematography, haunting music, exceptional acting, and breathtaking pacing - everything makes you eager to see this masterpiece again and again. Just consider, for instance, the numerous instances where Leili's room light goes out in response to Amir's wife's disturbances!

It's a shame that this gem remains unrecognized to the extent it deserves...

Without Anything(Bi Hame Chiz)
imafshin15 December 2021
"Without Anything" or better to say "unprincipled" is All about manUnkind and its decisions in situations that it's important to choose between their benefits or justice for another person. It's show us how people make a person Zero from Hero.

"Without Anything" It's real and still happening wherever that men is struggling with It's conscience.

To sum up All the things in this movie, such as acts, scenario, photography and soundtrack are in its right place and I think it's the best Iranian movie of 2021. But better name this movie "The Visit" as Friedrich Dürrenmatt's play is.

Amazing
amirafraz-2815622 June 2022
This film is wonderful. It is a great adaptation. It is not perfect, but it is a step forward in Iranian filmmaking, and in my opinion, it is one of the top ten films in Iranian history.

Disjointed Disappointment
h_sgp29 March 2024
"Bi Hame Chiz" falls short of its potential, leaving viewers with a sense of mild disappointment. While the film attempts to explore complex themes, its execution lacks the depth needed to truly engage audiences. The plot meanders without clear direction, resulting in a somewhat disjointed narrative that struggles to maintain momentum. Characters, though present, feel underdeveloped, making it difficult for viewers to fully invest in their stories. Despite moments of visual beauty, the cinematography fails to elevate the overall viewing experience. While "Bi Hame Chiz" may hold fleeting moments of intrigue, it ultimately fails to leave a lasting impact, making it a forgettable addition to the cinematic landscape.

Don't lose watching it
kokhazade15 April 2024
It is one of the best movies I have watched recently. A great subject that many communities are faced to, perfect acting and a different and interesting location are all the strengths. It has been made in a way that you never want to interrupt the watching. Although I think in some of the scenes, the writer has had an eye to the Dogville movie that I think it's the only weakness of the movie.

Actually, I am not an expert of filmography but as an ordinary person, I think it worth to watch and after two hours of watching you are not going to think that you have wasted two hours of your time.

Hope to find more movies with this quality.
