CGiii Comment

Nousha has a knack for sabotaging her romantic relationships. Her traditional Iranian parents insist she find a husband as soon as possible, perpetually setting her up with successful Iranian men who are anything but Nousha’s type. But when Nousha stumbles on an atypical match—the free-spirited, bisexual artist, Alex—she can only keep their fun-loving romance a secret for so long. With the pressure to get married and fulfill her parents’ dream of throwing an elaborate wedding celebration for their only daughter, Nousha begins questioning the whole institution of marriage and fears the differences between their opposing families may be too much to overcome. SIMPLE WEDDING, a hilarious, relatable romantic comedy, breathes fresh life into the genre with unexpected wit and a quirky, endearing love story that embraces the unavoidable oddities families bring to any relationship. Smart, original, and pleasingly entertaining, the film reminds us we can’t choose our family or whom we fall in love with, and that might not be so bad.
