About Elly
Why this pick
Its deceptively ordinary gathering develops the same tightly observed social realism, where omissions and competing responsibilities steadily strain every relationship.
03
The Hunt
Why this pick
A devastating ethical drama built from ambiguity, communal judgment, and intimate consequences, with the same refusal to offer easy moral refuge.
04
Loveless
Why this pick
Its cool, meticulous realism examines a collapsing family and institutional indifference with the tense, unsentimental emotional force of A Separation.
05
The Past
Why this pick
This uses Farhadi’s signature layered conversations and buried grievances to make a family reunion feel like a restrained, morally complicated thriller.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Simin wants to leave the country with her husband, Nader, and daughter, Termeh, as the former does not want Termeh to grow up under the prevailing conditions. This desire is not shared by Nader, who is concerned for his father, who lives with the family and suffers from Alzheimer's disease. When Nader determines to stay in Iran, Simin files for Divorce (Islamic).
