One of the greatest films ever made and still my pick for the best film of the decade, if not the century. The first scene of Asghar Farhadi's masterpiece A Separation opens with a married couple - Nader and Simin - arguing in front of a judge over their petition for…
Aaron MichaelMar 5, 2022brilliant because every decision feels like it’s made in the moment, not like it’s serving something three steps ahead. it’s often the best intentions that reveal how fragile everything is, and how quickly it can all unravel.

Once in a while there comes along a film that features characters who you think couldn't be more different from you, but whom you start to feel for as though they were part of your own family, as though you share a life with them. And by the end of the experience, you know…
RidaSep 11, 2021Simply put, A Separation is an incredible drama. It is well written, well acted, well shot, and well edited. For not a single second is it boring and it is always compelling. Very few dramas are better than this. The first scene of A Separation sets a false impression…
Darren Carver-BalsigerApr 14, 2023A movie that keeps expanding. A gradual unfolding of complex relationships, ethical dilemmas, and human emotions. It’s like one of those compressed wipes that blossom when you drop them in water. Or tears.

It's a mystery wrapped inside an enigmatic nation, flawlessly acted and difficult to predict. I'm always impressed when a movie informs about a foreign culture while it entertains, and this one is powerful art in that regard.

It's small. It's real. And it's deeply moving.

This is a trenchant emotional thriller that you watch in dread, awe, and amazing aggravation. It's entirely predicated upon the outcome of bad decisions - and it is not a comedy. The situation that unfolds approaches the absurdity of farce but denies the relief and release of humor. It's a tragic farce. No option or choice is to be envied.
