Following its major award at the Rome Film Festival’s independent section Alice nella Città, the prominent Italian film publication Taxidrivers published an analytical review exploring Hesam Farahmand’s “My Daughter’s Hair” (Raha).

The Weight of Human Choices

Under the review title “Il peso delle scelte in My Daughter’s Hair” (The Weight of Choices in My Daughter’s Hair), the critique examines how pressing socioeconomic dilemmas force ordinary families into impossible moral trade-offs, driving a compelling chain of events.

Universal Ethical Dilemmas

The review emphasizes the profound ethical tensions portrayed by lead actor Shahab Hosseini, noting that the drama successfully avoids simplistic judgment. Instead, it invites the audience to contemplate the painful balance between personal dignity, moral integrity, and deep familial sacrifice.

Expanding European Recognition

With critical praise from influential Italian media, My Daughter’s Hair solidifies its position as one of the standout Iranian independent titles on the European festival circuit, continuing its journey toward international arthouse audiences.
