REVIEWS
“A thriller of propulsive skill and blunt emotional force, marrying the muscularity of an action film to the psychological intensity of a chamber drama.”
“The emotional reality of living in Iran while holding views that oppose the state, the movie suggests, is anxiety-inducing—almost unfathomably so for those who have never dealt with such restrictions.”
“Rasoulof gets terrific performances from all of his cast, but particularly noteworthy is Sohelia Golestani’s work as Najmeh, which captures the woman’s subtle, gradual transition from defender of her husband to an ally of her daughters.”
