Milad Movahedi

Milad Movahedi, honestly, he's not one of those names you instantly recognize, but once you dig into his filmography, you start to see a pattern—this guy gravitates toward stories that are a bit off the beaten path. Take Botox (2020), for instance. It’s not your average drama. The film is drenched in this weird, almost darkly comedic atmosphere, set in a small Iranian town where two sisters cover up their brother’s mysterious disappearance by pretending he moved to Germany. The whole community just buys it, and the sisters spiral deeper into this web of lies. It’s all about the way guilt and secrets can mess with your head, and Movahedi’s involvement adds this subtle intensity that somehow makes the story even more unsettling. Then there’s Kocan Kadar Konus (2015), a total shift in tone. It’s a Turkish romantic comedy, super lighthearted, poking fun at societal expectations around marriage. Movahedi pops up in a supporting role that, while small, brings a lot of personality. He’s not the main focus, but his presence just rounds out the chaos, you know? It’s a movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously, contrasting sharply with the moody vibes of Botox. And you can’t skip Invasion (2017). Now, this one’s a trip. It’s a crime thriller with these long, hypnotic takes, almost theatrical in the way it plays out. The plot centers on a murder investigation, but it’s less about whodunit and more about the psychological unraveling of everyone involved. Movahedi fits right in, lending his usual quiet intensity. Altogether, his film choices show he’s drawn to stories that mess with your expectations—never boring, always a bit unpredictable.
