Reviews
"By No Reason" has received mixed to moderately positive feedback from both critics and audiences. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 6.4/10, reflecting a respectable but not overwhelming reception. Critics have praised Reza Attaran's direction and his nuanced portrayal of complex characters, noting that the film artfully balances moments of dark humor with serious drama. Reviewer comments often highlight the film's social critique and the performances, particularly Attaran's own acting, which bring depth and credibility to the storyline. However, some reviews suggest that certain narrative elements feel uneven or underdeveloped, which may affect the film's overall pacing and impact. Metacritic does not have a listed aggregate score, indicating limited widespread international critic reviews. Rotten Tomatoes also lacks sufficient reviews for a consensus, but user comments appreciate the film's originality and its candid look at contemporary issues within Iranian society. Overall, "By No Reason" is considered a thoughtful and somewhat challenging film that appeals to viewers interested in socially conscious cinema and Iranian culture, though it may not resonate equally with all audiences due to its narrative style and thematic density.
