Det er et mesterværk af en nærmest glødende intensitet – og afgjort årets bedste film 2011.

...[a] complex, painful, fascinating Iranian drama by writer-director Asghar Farhadi, with explosive results that expose a network of personal and social faultlines.

...smart, provocative, and brimming with ungovernable human emotions.

Beyond the impeccable performances and direction, it’s foremost an exceptional piece of screenwriting, so finely wrought that the drama seems guided by an invisible hand.

...Asghar Farhadi’s densely plotted, morally complex drama exposes divisions throughout Iranian society.
