EmmaPretty good adaptation of an exceptional graphic novel. It just suffers from an incredibly rushed pace since they're trying to cram a lot of plot into a 90 minute runtime, which deflates a lot of the dramatic weight from certain story arcs. It's still a good, powerful film,…

Really great story and plot structure and is actually really similar to the book
Emma lovedPersepolisA beautiful movie I think it’s a must watch, it’s a very informative movie about the Iranian revolution. And especially today it’s a very important movie to watch to understand Iranian people. I Stan Marjane. Free Iran

nik lovedPersepolisMore movies should be like this one. I want to know people’s real life stories in animated format
Sophie lovedPersepolis"Mi vida me pesa." What a complex story, so interesting, beautiful and sad. The life story of a migrant, you stop belonging anywhere, until you do again. A story of resilience, love and, most importantly, integrity. The animation is stunning.
- Partyhands likedPersepolis
Honestly extremely informational. I had no idea just how recent the regime had taken over. This is quite a unique look into the life of someone who live through what had happened in the Middle East during the 80’s
Lala lovedPersepolisit feels so good to be represented in something! this movie made me cry a bunch of times because i could relate to it so much. REPRESENTATION MATERS!!!!
Ori likedPersepolislove the way the art style from the book translates in the movie, however many important details of the story are left out

It's not to be missed in any language. In a year that has given us such marvelous animated movies as Ratatouille and Paprika, this vibrant, sly and moving personal odyssey takes pride of place.

Anthony Lane
The New Yorker
This autobiographical tour de force is completely accessible and art of a very high order.
