IMDB

A beautifully animated film about a young girl growing up in Iran as the laws become tighter. Then she moves to France to go to school, but her life starts going out of control and when she gets bronchitus she moves back to Iran, and is faced with even less freedom than before.
This was a very good film. I found it a bit confusing at times, as it is mostly told through flashbacks. I mostly understood what was going on and I got the point of the movie. It is somewhat serious, but it has a sense of humor that keeps it from being depressing. The animation style is great, but if you hate black and white, this movie will piss you off.

9/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
