A FILM BY Asghar Farhadi

You never feel like you're in the hands of anyone less than a master storyteller.

-Time Out New York

Magnificent and haunting, has the charged tension of a thriller.

-Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

Mr. Farhadi shows a masterly gift for moving his characters and camera through rooms that ? with a raised voice, a violent exit ? become stages in a ferocious domestic drama.

-Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

Grand conteur, excellent directeur d'acteurs, Farhadi maîtrise l'art d'entrelacer des liens complexes.

-Odile Tremblay, Le Devoir

Bérénice Bejo trouve le plus grand rôle de sa carrière.

-Manon Dumais, Voir
