Critic Reviews for The Charmer

All Critics (12) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (1)

  • Alami's directorial style is line with the subtle yet suspenseful realism reminiscent of such contemporary Iranian filmmakers as Asghar Farhadi (A Separation, The Salesman) and Majid Barzegar (Parviz, A Very Ordinary Citizen).

    Ben Sachs

    Chicago Reader

  • A sharply crafted drama that has elements of noirish suspense.

    December 5, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

    Godfrey Cheshire

    RogerEbert.com

  • It's impressive that Alami can put all this across - romance, suspense and, in the moving final act, a kind of tragedy - and maintain the movie's nimbleness. But he's a natural storyteller.

    Wesley Morris

    New York Times

  • Director and co-writer Milad Alami's film feels like several fused-together trial drafts of the same narrative.

    Diego Semerene

    Slant Magazine

  • What seems a premise for an earnest social-issue drama is darkened and complicated, however, by a progressively noir-ish strain of morally elusive mystery.

    Guy Lodge

    Variety

  • A carefully assembled, perceptive slow-burner.
