A simple and entertaining film about female soccer fans in Iran. Jafar Panahi (Crimson Gold and The Circle) continues to give glimpses of the contemporary society in Iran. His films are political and criticizes the institution but not the individuals who are trapped in the system. The film has characters that are universal and fully developed. Since the film was shot during an actual soccer game, it has the documentary feel to it. It shows that art can flourish even in the most restricted conditions. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
