Well it's not. It's charming ! I haven't read the novel though, so maybe it's an egregious betrayal of De Ségur's work.

I am pretty sure no one was Iranian in the original work...

Yeah, well, any excuse to get Golshifteh Farahani in a movie is ok by me. Also her character is a foreigner in the original (Russian I believe), so it's not entirely out of nowhere.

Currently showing 5.9 on the front page but 6.0 behind-the-scenes. I suspect enough real votes will come in over the next few weeks to offset all those phantom 1 votes.

Those aren't phantoms unless you're referring to the shared outfit consisting of white sheets.

Why should the bunch of votes on one extreme be more phantom than the bunch of votes on the other extreme?

There are more than 16 times more votes for 1 than there are for 2, yet only 5 times more votes for 10 than 9 (still a ridiculously high ratio). I wonder if that is the normal distribution for voting at IMDB. Lots of dubious voting. I note that of the 14 reviews on IMDB, 8 of the reviews give it 10/10, none of the reviews give it 1/10. It seems the top marks people are more invested in their ranking.

This .... sort of a microcosm of the U.S. electorate right now

I think it's pretty typical to have a disproportionate amount of 10s and 1s, yeah. I don't know if it's always to that extent though.
