Gees, scary, informative. A little in and learn it's scripted, but it feels very real, like these events could happen. Most of all beautiful

Sometimes during watching I forgot this is a movie with script and actors, and not exactly real life, which is a great achievement

Plot summaries don’t do Panahi’s post-ban films justice as he makes films I keep getting lost in. Spontaneous yet thoughtful.

Call Me Lucky
An inspiring, triumphant and wickedly funny portrait of one of comedy’s most enigmatic and important figures, CALL ME LUCKY tells the story of Barry Crimmins, a beer-swilling, politically outspoken and whip-smart comic whose efforts in the 70s and 80s fostered the talents of the next generation of standup comedians. But beneath Crimmins’ gruff, hard-drinking, curmudgeonly persona lay an undercurrent of rage stemming from his long-suppressed and horrific abuse as a child – a rage that eventually found its way out of the comedy clubs and television shows and into the political arena.
