Children of Heaven - Review


It’s a captivating Iranian film directed by Majid Majidi. This was the first Iran film nominated for Academy award for Best Foreign Picture in 1998.

“Children of Heaven” is about a home without unhappiness and deals with brother(Ali) and sister (Zahra) who lives in typical middle class family in Tehran (Iran).

The plot is very simple and is about the brother who loses his sister’s shoes and tries to find it…that’s it.

But the way of telling is so natural and the acting, especially by the two children leads is highly apreciatable and amazing and you felt like you were Ali or Zahrah and you will feel deeply for these characters, which makes the success of this film.

Each and every character of this film conveys many moral things of life…honesty, sincere, keeping worries inside, benefit of education…etc.,

It has many wonderful scenes crafted by the director and he has to be lauded in a big way.

It’s definitely worth to watch, particularly along with the kids instead of allowing them to watch power rangers, Ben10 and playing violent play station….

Verdict: It’s a perfect movie packed with full of sweetness and innocence, mainly focuses on a humanistic story of great depth

★★★★★
