Positives-
1.) Direction,screenplay and story- It was an impressive debut by Babak Anvari(director). In this movie it has a great sensitive story plot and within this story plot creating horror is an amazing idea and definitely we can conclude it as out of box film. Its an horror film from an Iranian cultural perspective and definitely it gives us realistic feel. there are aspects that are less predictable, resulting in a fascinating movie. A realistic film with supernatural elements mixing up by director in script was totally a good idea.
2.)Narges Rashidi (mother) and Avin Manshadi (daughter)- Without their realistic performance this movie couldn't have worked out well. All those emotional scenes by both these actresses were done without any flaw and i was amazed by Avin as daughter because she is a very small child and without any hestitaion she does it properly like matured actors. Casting is another big plus to this movie.
3.)Cinematography- well shot and each frames has its own uniqueness which made the film lively.
4.)Bg score- it suited the movie well.
5.)Editing was also good
6.) Horror and thrills
