Original and emotionally complex story, with strong analysis on all the cultural impact on human condition
This movie connects little pieces of everyday behaviour and actions to amazing plot which runs towards to end strong as a fate
Top Iranian movie, best start to Persian Cinema
This movie is moral. It's influence on me a lot. I really enjoy it.
It was such beautiful movie but it has open ending such as all farhads movie
There is no obvious right or wrong. No heroes or villains. A gripping spiral of confusion and half-truths.
I love Asghar’s movies. He truly is from an independent cinema
One of the best iranian movies. Sad, disturbing,but so real and fascinating
If you're a Farhadi's fan, go watch this
Though the characters were often extremely frustrating, they were also quite believable. An uncomfortable but interesting watch.
