Movie #3478 ........................."The Seed of the Sacred Fig" (on plane to Peru)

Movie #3478 "The Seed of the Sacred Fig" (on plane to Peru)  I did not like this movie at all --- esp. the second half, when the dad turns against his kids --- the women are terribly mistreated in the film, and I don't feel the need to see films like that -- it turns my stomach.  I know it happens , and I just feel sick after watching films who show all the details.  So I don't recommend this one -- it got recognition at Cannes, but that didn't make me like it any more..  I'd give it a mild 3 and not recommend it.  

"THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG"     2024     PG-13     2 hours and 47 mins (it was Looooooong)

An investigating judge struggles with paranoia amid political unrest in Tehran caused by the death of a young woman.  When his gun goes missing, he suspects his wife and daughters, imposing harsh measures that fray family ties.  (you think)
