EMPTY YOUR POCKETS Review in Short Films Matter

A five-star review in Short Films Matter Mag describes the film:

“Aghdashloo’s script is sharp, bringing moments of levity into a story that’s as heartfelt as it is poignant. The film never feels heavy-handed; it invites us to observe Hassan’s life through a fly-on-the-wall lens, thanks to Farhad Ghader’s expert cinematography. The visuals are polished yet intimate, with naturalistic lighting and grading that lend authenticity to every frame. Whether capturing the sterile efficiency of the baggage check area or the tender moments Hassan shares with his mother, the film’s aesthetic feels simultaneously cinematic and raw.”
