Leila’s Brothers
At the age of 40, Leila has spent her entire life caring for her parents and four brothers. A family that is constantly arguing and under pressure from various debts in the face of sanctions against Iran.
Description
‘Like a massive 19th century novel by Zola or Dickens condensed into a three-hour story… Filled with powerhouse turns by an ensemble cast, many of whom also starred in “Just 6.5,” “Leila’s Brothers” reveals the 32-year-old Roustaee to be a masterly, if aggressively unwieldy, filmmaker whose voice is clearly one to be reckoned with.’—Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter
