01/13/2021 the writing was on point. See more 10/08/2020 Fireworks Wednesday is yet another stellar work by Farhadi. His great empathy and respect for people is reflected in his writing (credit also to co-writer Haghigi) and his delicate direction. These people are trying valiantly to maintain some order in a chaotic, war-ravaged country; expressed throughout by the constant sounds of guns and fireworks going off. We feel the shaken out of sorts essence of Mozhde, the faithful wife who believes her husband is being less than so. The gruff, intense Morteza is easily angered. But why? Enter the happy, glowing bride-to-be Roohi, who becomes tangled in this mess of a couple falling apart. The dialogue is exceptional as well, as we hear neighbors talk to/about neighbors, employer to the employed; customer to shop owner; and suspicions are confirmed- all with such naturalistic manner, mixing formal, informal, and the occasional humorous. Excellent acting by the great Hedye Tehrani as well as Alidoosti, Farokhnezhad and Bahram. 3.7 stars See more nefasto r @Nefasto 12/19/2019 Every single Asghar Farhadi's script is magnificent, and this is no exception. It is like to spy on real people with real stories: it is impossible not to feel for them, not to be involved. And the actors, especially the actresses, do an amazing job bringing the story to life. See more 07/03/2016 Another brilliant masterpiece from farhadi. He creates such a atmosphere out of a simple story that we will be super excited to watch what happens next after each scene...also the actors involved showcase their enormous talent to such a good writing tht we just brood till the very end... See more 04/13/2016 Another masterpiece of domestic strife from Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi. See more 03/25/2016 While not as polished as Farhadi's latter works, Fireworks Wednesday is an intimate look at the pitfalls of marriage, with a neo-realist style that recalls the greats.
