Outstanding! DIrector Asghar Farhadi's other movies (About Elly, Firewords Wednesday, The Past--all held by SPL) are powerful, well crafted stories, but this is tops. Outstanding acting by all 5 principles, strong story, emotionally gripping and astute, wrapped in terrific cultural context. (Kenneth Turan noted: "One fascination of "A Separation" is its depiction of the day-to-day intricacies of this very particular society, the complications of a country with a definite religious/secular divide and a legal system very different from those in the West.") This movie is not fun or light entertainment, but it is exceptional drama.
