LTK 02/19/2025 Not what you will expect See more MB C @MB.Cinema Jan 17 Universal Language is an ambitious drama set in a surreal alternate reality blending Iranian and Canadian cultures.....The film favors abstract ideas over narrative momentum, presenting interconnected characters without clear dramatic goals.....Its fragmented structure and heavy symbolism often feel more conceptual than emotionally engaging.....Surreal moments and multilingual play show visual intelligence, but repetition dulls their impact over time....With little central conflict or character evolution, the experience becomes distant and demanding.....Universal Language is thoughtful in intent, yet weighed down by excess abstraction and limited emotional payoff.....

Definitely not for everyone, more of a cinephile movie. See more g j @g.username Dec 12 It sent me to sleep at the 45 minute mark too. While it picks up in the final act, much of the film felt almost malciously unfunny. See more kokiaia T @RT04537678 Nov 29 This has to be one of the worst movies i have ever seen in my entire life. Very unfunny, cold and not recommended. Unfortunately i can't give it 0 stars so its 0.5 . These comments giving it many stars/points have to be bots because if you actually see this movie, in no way is it enchanting, funny or warm. Very cold actually. I saw this movie for free but if i had to spend money on whatever this garbage is then i don't know.
