Film choice

The Persian Version, 10.10am, 6.05pm, Sky Cinema Premiere

Maryam Keshavarz’s drama begins as the comic tale of a metrosexual Iranian American woman rebelling against her traditional mother but expands into a rich, resonant saga of love, compromise and resolve. Layla Mohammadi is Leila, who has always butted heads with her demanding mother Shireen (Niousha Noor). But flashbacks to Leila’s childhood, the family’s early days in the US and her parents’ youth back in Iran add depth to Shireen’s actions. Simon Wardell
