It’s a tense, atmospheric piece of film-making but it made me profoundly uncomfortable – and not, I should add, in a good way.

An intensely stylish and appropriately troubling film, with stomach-churning murders and a pacy first half that’s reminiscent of David Fincher’s Zodiac.

The film is an Iranian social history that looks, at first, like a serial killer movie... it is both.

Abassi's thriller has a gripping start that is solidified, just enough, by a decent performance from Zar Amir Ebrahimi, but its narrative loses its trace of intrigue and, unfortunately, becomes somewhat conventional. [Full review in Spanish]
