Leave your thoughts about A Separation.
| Orlando WeeklyJohn ThomasonIf any one film can re-inject life into an entire national cinema, it's A Separation. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranA Separation is totally foreign and achingly familiar. It's a thrilling domestic drama that offers acute insights into human motivations and behavior as well as a compelling look at what goes on behind a particular curtain that almost never gets raised. |
| NPRBob MondelloA film that captures the drama and suspense of real life as urgently as any picture released this year. |
| TimeRichard CorlissHowever ripe A Separation might seem for being adapted into a smart American film, Hollywood shouldn't bother. Farhadi's movie is just about perfect as it is. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenThe story winds its way over the material, forcing the characters and the viewers to constantly reassess everything they have seen and heard. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallIt's a mystery wrapped inside an enigmatic nation, flawlessly acted and difficult to predict. I'm always impressed when a movie informs about a foreign culture while it entertains, and this one is powerful art in that regard. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonAsghar Farhadi's emotionally epic movie is not just a masterpiece dramatically, it is a movie dramatically of its moment. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThis is a trenchant emotional thriller that you watch in dread, awe, and amazing aggravation. It's entirely predicated upon the outcome of bad decisions - and it is not a comedy. The situation that unfolds approaches the absurdity of farce but denies the relief and release of humor. It's a tragic farce. No option or choice is to be envied. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsThe film is a singular achievement, a piece of realist cinema with the pull of a suspense thriller. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe actors, as sometimes happens, create those miracles that can endow a film with conviction. Moadi and Hatami, as husband and wife, succeed in convincing us their characters are acting from genuine motives. |
