The Persian Version, The Delinquents & Best Nun-Based Horrors
Bonus reviews include ‘The Persian Version’, a comedy drama about the reunion of a large Iranian American family, which catapults the estranged mother and daughter into an exploration of the past, allowing them to discover they are more alike than they know; and ‘The Delinquents’, a Spanish language comedy-drama about a bank employee who steals enough money to never work again, and offers his colleague a cut if he hides the cash while he serves his prison sentence. This week’s One Frame Back is best nun-based horrors to coincide with the release of ‘Immaculate’. Plus, Mark and Simon are on hand to help us decide what to watch, and what to avoid, this weekend.
