If you saw A Separation (2011) you will recognize the genius of director Asghar Farhadi. Farhadi pens another phenomenal tale of love, commitment, and disintegration of the family unit. Each shot is carefully constructed to convey the complexity of the scene. The casting could not have been better, from a list of brilliant leads to the unbelievably intense performances from the child actors.
Just when the tension is at its greatest and you start working out the possibilities of where the characters might go from there, Farhadi hits you with a twist that changes everything. You learn at the same pace as the characters what changes their worlds, which places you inside the film and forces you to grab onto the character you feel will best survive the experience. Farhadi's screen-writing and vision are unmatched in modern day cinema and will be one of the greats to be studied in the future.
