A Separation (2011) 7/10

Starring : Peyman Moaadi, Leila Hatami, Sareh Bayat, Shahab Hosseini, Sarina Farhadi
Director : Asghar Farhadi
Running Time : 118 mins

Following a disagreement Simin (Hatami) decides to get a separation from her husband Nader (Moaadi) so that she can move abroad to make a better life for their daughter Termeh (Farhadi), but life gets even trickier when Nader is accused of causing their neighbour Razieh (Bayat) to lose her baby.

This drama starts off incredibly slow, and at times it gets confusing about what the hell is going on and why people are making such silly decisions, but if you take the human factor into account when approaching this movie you might find it is actually quite enjoyable, and you’ll realise when you reach the ambiguous ending that you actually want to learn more about what happens to the characters involved, but to be honest I didn’t think this was special enough to be nominated for an Oscar...
