Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: Social messages in a ghost-romantic-comedy. Yes, that’s 4 genres in one sentence. And that’s not counting the many “Public Service Announcements” within those social messages. A bit much that alas adds to not much.
Wogma rating: Catch on TV/online for sure
Quick review: Beyond the Clouds is as harsh as it is kind and in that sense it follows life. If only the Iranian director had avoided drama especially through some of the performances and the background score. These took a toll on the subtlety that could have been.
Wogma rating: Watch for sure, preferably in theatre
Quick review: Both as dramatic or as slow as real life is. It is an immersive experience that makes you think about it well after you are out of the theater.
Wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for it to come on TV/online
Quick review: Too convoluted, too long, too slow together make a potentially interesting and fun thriller barely bearable.
Wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for it to come on TV/online
Quick review: I am pleasantly surprised by the attempt at a detailed story. That, in the end, it all turns out to be rather ‘meh’ as expected, is another matter.
Wogma rating: Catch on TV/online for sure
Quick review: Hichki questions traditional methods of teaching while using traditional film-writing, sort-of missing its own point. Thankfully, it is engaging while it lasts.
Wogma rating: Catch on TV/online for sure
Quick review: What could have been a crisp, engaging narrative becomes a ‘not bad’ thriller because of uneven pace. The 15-20 minutes on song and romance could’ve been used in other ways to highlight sacrifices made by families of honest government employees.

No fanfare, no bells and whistles. Just plain happy to be 10.
