— Charlie Smith
“Even though rational people would consider Sahar the smallest of small fries, viewers need to understand there nothing far-fetched in Yadegar’s screenplay. In fact, the authoritarian regime comes after everyday people like her all the time. If anything, Yadegar shows tremendous restraint in her depiction of their extraterritorial repression..”

“One Must Wash Eyes is a solid film with a powerful message. Pegah Ghafoori’s performance is a standout, and Sepideh Yadegar’s direction brings an authentic touch to the narrative. The film’s exploration of identity, resilience, and the sacrifices made for a better life is compelling. The acting is strong, the story keeps you engaged, and it tackles some real-life struggles.”
