Any time you get to see a radiant bride-to-be (Taraneh Alidoosti) try on her dress and admire her reflection at the outset, you know that bliss is in the crosshairs. April 21, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It succeeds, as very few films do, with simultaneously presenting several distinct viewpoints without shortchanging any of them. April 21, 2016 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

The maturity of the mise-en-scene and the quiet confidence of the storytelling indicate a major talent, one that would flower in later and better films. April 12, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Here's a film directed by a relative newcomer, Asghar Farhadi, that feels just as fresh as films by his predecessors, yet it also turns slightly inward, getting a little closer to the more turbulent human emotions. March 26, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…
