"Tambourine" directed by Parisa Bakhtavar, and written by her husband, a brilliant screenwriter, Asghar Farhadi, is one of the few comedy movies produced domestically that kept me truly intrigued to watch it till the end. In this film, there was no need to use vulgar jokes inappropriate for children to make the audience laugh, as it is unfortunately the vogue nowadays. The circumstances of the characters were funny enough; their constant arguments over pitiful subjects such as who is in charge of the roof of the apartment; the whole thing might have seemed hilarious to an onlooker, though most stressful and vexing to a party inside the mess.
As an ending note, I would have preferred the pre-amended version of the picture; the one in which the police officers fail to catch Shirin, since it is closer to what happens in real life.
