About This Movie

Tatami (2024) is an intense drama that dives into the world of competitive judo through the eyes of Iranian athletes. The atmosphere is thick with tension as Leila and her coach Maryam navigate not just the physical rigor of the sport but the suffocating political pressures from the Islamic Republic. The pacing is gripping, with each match feeling like a fight not only in the ring but for their very autonomy. The performances are raw and layered, particularly how they capture the emotional struggle of loyalty to one's country versus personal integrity. It’s distinct in its blend of sports drama and political thriller, creating a harrowing portrait of ambition against a backdrop of oppression. You feel the weight of the stakes in every scene.
