RTChicago ReaderApr 7, 2020

Alami's directorial style is line with the subtle yet suspenseful realism reminiscent of such contemporary Iranian filmmakers as Asghar Farhadi (A Separation, The Salesman) and Majid Barzegar (Parviz, A Very Ordinary Citizen).

A sharply crafted drama that has elements of noirish suspense.

RTNew York TimesDec 4, 2018

It's impressive that Alami can put all this across - romance, suspense and, in the moving final act, a kind of tragedy - and maintain the movie's nimbleness. But he's a natural storyteller.

The moodily shot tale is full of surprising turns and clever insights.
