Very interesting movie, the twists in the direction of the characters motives makes the film even more captivating. Definitely a film that shows different sides between men ,women and culture and how all of these sub conflicts can be the creation of one central problem. Overall, movie is a must see!

I'm so amazed a movie without any music in it can be so effective. No music at all except the last scene. Usually directors control and force the moods and feelings using music. Strong story!

Asghar Farhadi has a distinct style of movie-making where there are no rights or wrongs and the viewer is impelled to decide on his own. This movie is his finest work, IMO and is a must watch.
