Part of my enjoyment of movies like this is to see how no matter how different our various societies might be dating is universally difficult. As for the movie.... I liked it. I normally really enjoy movies that have very subtle themes - this film had that in spades. In fact, I think I may have wanted a little more conflict between the main characters in light of the "event" that happens in the first third of the film. This film was made by the same Iranian director that made the fantastic A Separation. follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com or facebook page IHateBadMovies

Great drama in which a ball of lies hit back to the main characters once and again.

The suspense is greatly kept while we attend to the limitations and roles imposed by culture and social conventions. In several ways, a movie setting the path for the next one: "A Separation".
