3/4

A veil of censorship frustrates Milani, but also inspires her to clever means of skull-penetrating overstatement and subliminal understatement.

2/5

Although fascinating in its depiction of a surprisingly Westernized slice of contemporary life in Iran, the film awkwardly blends genres, with melodrama overwhelming Milani's attempts at social commentary.

3/4

An engaging film about relationship struggles -- struggles that hurt both people in a couple, even if one of them is oblivious to the pain.

The film does disintegrate into big speeches as it rounds to its climax — but through these characters, Milani hauntingly maps the souls of men and women at odds in a theocracy.
