New Review For Movie A Separation
You cannot watch the film without feeling kinship with the characters and admitting their decency as well as their mistakes.
David Thomson-The New Republic Dynamically shot and paced like a thriller, the film has the density and moral prickliness of a good novel.
Jon Frosch-The Atlantic These people seem so real they might live next door. And they probably do.
Tom Long-Detroit News "A Separation" is a plaintive fable of the human condition that unites us.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch Very few movies capture as convincingly as A Separation does the ways in which seemingly honorable decisions can lead to interpersonal conflict -- even disaster.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post To say the piercing Iranian film A Separation is about divorce is a bit like saying The Wizard of Oz is about a pair of slippers.
Chris Vognar-Dallas Morning News Ambiguous endings can work for some films, but it doesn't here. Still, the powerful performances and near seamless screenplay leave little else to be desired. A Separation deserves its Oscar.
Matt Kelemen-Las Vegas CityLife A case study in how simplicity can produce spectacular results that extend far beyond a film's budget.
Erick Weber-NECN [A] flawless domestic portrait.
Alice Tynan-Limelight ... a complex and nuanced movie about the ... the collapse of a relationship between intelligent people of good will. It is heartbreaking and subtle, the sort of film that some folks say isn't made often or well enough by the usual Hollywood suspects.
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette A Separation infuses a great insight into modern Iran with a powerful insight into the human condition - this demonstrates the power and poetic potential of cinematic drama. It's a MUST see.
Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show Writer-director Asghar Farhadi performs some kind of miracle with the tension and complexity he produces from such a simple set-up.
Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema ...riveting, enormously resonant and impressively acted...
Aaron Yap-Flicks.co.nz Fahardi's accomplishment is to have brought to the screen a group of equally complex, equally flawed, and equally human characters whose only real problem is that they must live life with each other.
Simon Weaving-Screenwize Offers an unwritten ending that must be decided by each viewer.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews ... subtlety and a sense of profound decency ...
Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review A clever, insightful and heartfelt examination of human frailty that makes watching subtitles seem like a breeze.
Dan Lybarger-KC Active It's fast paced, exciting, thrilling, edgy, moving, engaging, and - in its portrait of a justice system almost radically alien to the one I live under - absolutely fascinating.
CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia) Although the film might serve as a portrait of Iran's two conflicting social groups as reflected in the Green movement/Ahmadinejad clashes, it is much more about moral contradictions that any society has to face. A masterpiece.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews It's the little moments in Farhadi's film that are its most important, speaking every bit as loudly as its big, narrative-driving moments.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune If any one film can re-inject life into an entire national cinema, it's A Separation.
John Thomason-Orlando Weekly You may also find that some aspects of this very foreign story seem disturbingly not all that foreign.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) An outsider could see these characters as misguided. That's not the reality however. Farhadi slips us into their shoes and we appreciate each of their perspectives.
Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane Asghar Farhadi has written a superb screenplay and directs it with equal brilliance. He has managed to make a film that says something about the state of affairs in his Iran and weaves that message into an engrossing tapestry of mystery and drama.
