Reviews

It is by any measure a great film, a quiet, yet overwhelmingly intense production that forces us to recalibrate our notion of what suspenseful cinema can mean and do.

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

A complex, compelling film from Iran - modern day Iran as we Americans never get to see it - it well deserved its win.

Diane Pershing, Malibu Times
