A slowly evolving truth of lies.

A masterpiece, of a kind that to my knowledge has been attempted only once before, by Antonioni in L'Avventura. Making the prominent character of Elly disappear after only 20 minutes or so makes the other characters question what they are…

A Masterpiece You hardly come across movies that just draws you in and you suddenly become part of the plot yourself. From the slow playful beginning to the very thick plot as it unfolds this movie is one of the highest when it comes to…

I quite enjoyed this, lots of plot twists and surprises about what the characters knew and when, as well as a social commentary on the plight of women in Iranian society. Would highly recommend.

From the outset of his clever opening credits it’s obvious that not everything is what it appears to be in Asghar Farhadi’s absorbing mystery—part social critique and part morality lecture. Sumptuous cinematography alternates between…

Massively over-rated (IMDB 8.1), this begins to fall apart around 30 minutes in. For what seems likes ages, the adults search for one of the children in the sea; afterwards, the family bickers amongst themselves for most of the remaining…

a suspenseful and emotionally honest film about telling lies. Farhadi films are a 'must watch'

Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi has made two of the best art films of the last five years, “A Separation” (2011) and the “Past” (2013). I suspect the success of these two films brought about the release in the USA of his earlier film…

This is another brilliant film from the Iranian director Asghar Farhadi. It precedes his 2012 Oscar-winning production, “The Separation”, by three years but again shows his superb grasp of psychological drama. Here, the story focuses on…

An excellent Iranian film showing how people react under stress and how little acts can having huge unintended consequences. Still it's always hard for me to airbrush out those head scarfs that women don't wear in private in the real world…

The mysterious disappearance of a kindergarten teacher during a picnic in the north of Iran is followed by a series of misadventures for her fellow travelers. This was a nice foreign film with English subtitles. Has some cultural base to…
