Reviews

aniket-dhere This is a must watch movie for its character development. As usual Asghar Farhadi has made this film with great love.

aronsmithier I've a friend from Iran, so I asked her to suggest me some Farsi movie. Though it wasn't her favorite movie she suggested me this one.I watched it with English subtitles & I actually liked the movie. It takes us into the lives of two families & how one incident messes things even further. Made me emotional & sad, empathizing their helpless lives. Definitely at least a one time watch.

Robert-J-McAvoy If we like to think this movie as a color combination with black and white this movie did not turn out to be gray, just for some reason...I can say this is the best films of Asghar Farhadi by far Only Iranian society that can make a story like thisMake this movie to the list! 'A movies that people should see before they die'

xuannguyen-93607 This movie is definitely worth watching. The plot twists should be considered the most successful because they keep the audience watching until the end. In addition, the director clearly put the same effort for every twist, making it as unexpected as possible for the audience. Not only does the movie carefully portray endless conflicts among family members, but the movie also delivers a simple message to parents: everything they do will affect their child one way or another, which they have to consider carefully before any action. Lastly, this movie shows the audience a view on Iran's culture and religion. It is phenomenal how characters in the movie respect their gods; they are really serious when it is the matter of sins and swearing under the gods.
