A talky, snarky, lopsided narrative betrays the compelling character study hiding deep inside The Persian Version JacobOller's Sundance2023 review:
The Persian Version
is happy to give you the audiobook version of its culture and country-spanning multigenerational experience. Not content to let us simply watch its oddly framed narrative, its incessant narration buries its anecdotes in snark.
Leila and her colorful family are going through a lot. Dad is getting a heart transplant, a boy band’s worth of stereotyped brothers watch on, and supermom Shireen is doing it all, including looking down on queer Leila’s romantic life. The latter most recently involves getting knocked up by the straight Brit currently playing Hedwig on Broadway. But, as you might expect, the two women have a bit more in common than meets the eye.
There’s a reason the family epic spun by Keshavarz namechecks Martin Scorsese, but it’s an unflattering comparison to draw, and one that does its own stylized immigrant tale ambitions an injustice. With such a scattered focus and lopsided narrative,might love its characters, but it’s still working out how to best tell their story.
