This was one of the worst movies I've ever had the misfortune to sit through. There was no plot, no joy - but relentless misery, and a hit-you-over-the-head message landing with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, over and over and over again. I liked the artwork, thought the start boded well, and settled in to a meandering tale. If the idea was to push the viewer to want to play in traffic, then it was a success. The main character was completely unsympathetic despite the horrific things that happened to her and her family. This is a film made about a terrible time and injustice done to millions. Don't think I'm unsympathetic to any of that. Just please don't make anyone watch this movie to get the point.

The movie she made is filled with falsehoods and inaccurate information about the history of Iran. There are so many parts which she made by herself! The movie theater was burned by the rebellion in 1979, not the beloved Savak or the Shah of Iran.
She comes from a terrorist family that made the Rebellion in 1979. The Pahlavi era is remembered for its commitment to education, women's rights, and economic progress, among other things. Therefore HRH Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi's name has become a symbol of hope for young Iranians who yearn for a brighter future and a return to the principles.
Over the past several years, many highly educated Iranians have used HRH Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi's name to symbolize their longing for change and a return to the values and vision they associate with the Pahlavi dynasty.

The story of Marjane is what a sizable portion of Iranian youth of her generation have experienced because of the 1979 Islamic revolution. Her story presents a glimpse of how people were diverted off their normal life path due to sociopolitical upheavals. But the movie is full of historical inaccuracies, and it is only personal opinions void of factual basis. Given her background, her narrative represents the views of a feudal Iranian family that was upset about emancipation of Iranian peasantry in the 1960s. Also, the movie avoids accounting for the role that families like hers played by participating in a revolution that has ruined the lives of generations of Iranians, Iraqis, Lebanese, and so on.

Some part of this movie have fake information. Specially the part about our king. This movie has exagerrated fake information about it.
Ourkings mohammad Reza shah and shah have faithful about their country and people and they care about them. Since Marjan is a cummonist and is in left Wing part and ofcourse hard king monarchy in Iran , so, she put very fake and dark information in her movie and story. Hopefully right now because world understand more about commonist and red radicalism, the IMb also can understood the truth about our real history of Iran. Our people tortured very much during islamic radicalism after the 1979 fake Revolution.
Hopefully this fake rank going down .

This animation is full of lies about Iran history. This is a huge misinformation about Iran's kings like Rezashah and Mohamad Reza Shah. This animation show the fake dictator picture of them and try to show the nice picture of Iranian's enemies like Communists,Tudeh Party and MEK. Marjan Satrapi (the writer) is a minion of the Republic Islamic regime in Iran and have an order to show a bad picture of the Iran's history. If you care about your knowledge, brilliance and wisdom you better know this animation is not showing the truth. You can't see a single frame of truth between this animation and also among the other Marjan Satrapi's works.

*Persepolis* isn't just a bad movie-it's a cinematic black hole that sucks away your time, money, and will to live. Watching this film felt like being trapped in an art student's pretentious doodle sketchbook while they monologue about how deep they are. Spoiler alert: they're not.
Let's start with the animation. Who approved this? Did they lose their budget halfway through and decide, "You know what, black-and-white stick figures will do"? *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs*-a movie made before *World War II*-has more charm, detail, and emotional expression. This movie's visuals are so bleak and lifeless that even Microsoft Paint is offended.
The story is where this dumpster fire truly shines as an exercise in torture. It's not so much a plot as it is a scattershot collection of "look how hard my life is" moments, glued together with self-pity and smugness. Marjane Satrapi is treated like some flawless genius who's always right, while everyone else is a cardboard cutout put there to be wrong. If the film were a person, it would be that guy at the party who corners you to talk about how much better they are than everyone else.
Oh, and the perspective. We're told this is an Iranian story, but instead of nuance or complexity, it gives us the CliffsNotes version of "How to Pander to Western Audiences 101." It's like someone took every stereotype about Iran, slapped on some tragic violin music, and called it a day. Want other perspectives? Tough luck. This is Satrapi's pity parade, and you're stuck on the float.
The tone is another unholy disaster. One minute, it's trying to be funny (it's not), the next, it's drowning in melodrama, and before you can process that, it's rambling about existential crises. It's like the movie took three genres, threw them in a blender, and forgot to put the lid on. The result? A mess all over your screen.
And the worst part? I paid actual money for this. Four whole dollars! Do you know what I could've done with that? I could've bought a bag of Doritos and had a way better time. Instead, I spent it on a movie that's somehow less entertaining than staring at my ceiling.
*Persepolis* is the cinematic equivalent of stale bread: bland, dry, and completely unnecessary. It's the kind of movie you wouldn't even watch on a long flight, and that's saying something because I once watched *Cats* on a plane. Save yourself the pain. Spend your time and money on something more worthwhile-like watching paint dry. At least that has color.
