Quick mini‑guide (by type of viewer)

1. “I already pay for a streamer”

  • Try Hulu first if you’re in the U.S. and have a subscription.
  • If you’re outside the U.S., check MUBI ; it’s promoted as “now streaming” in several regions (UK, Latin America, Germany, Turkey, Canada, Ireland, India, etc.).

2. “I just want to rent it tonight”

Go for any of these and search the title:

  • Amazon Video / Prime Video Store
  • Apple TV
  • Google Play Movies
  • Fandango at Home (Vudu)

Each platform lists standard HD rentals; availability is worldwide but can vary per country.

What the movie is about (no spoilers)

  • The film follows Vahid , an auto mechanic who hears a customer walk in and becomes convinced—based only on the man’s distinct squeaky footsteps —that this is the prison officer who once tortured him while he was blindfolded.
  • Panicked and unsure, he kidnaps the man and gathers a few fellow ex‑prisoners to confirm the man’s identity before they decide what to do next.
  • It’s directed by Jafar Panahi , runs about 1 hour 43 minutes , and leans into drama/thriller territory with a strong focus on survivor trauma, memory, and moral ambiguity.

Regions and timing notes

  • A January 2026 streaming guide notes the movie hit U.S. theaters in October , then went digital (PVOD) on December 16 via platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV.
  • That same guide says it doesn’t yet have a confirmed U.S. subscription streaming date there, but due to a distribution deal, it is expected (and now appears) on Hulu.
  • A separate promo claims it is “now streaming on MUBI” in various international territories, which explains why different countries may see MUBI as the main home.
