Review of The Separation

2/10
Unconvincing story
18 August 2004
As the title reveals, the story is about the separation of a couple. No reason for the behavior of the two spouses is given whatsoever, and this behavior remains completely unconvincing though the whole movie. The story is told as seen from a third party, who tries to be fully objective, but, in the end, it only manages to describe two irresolute characters, without any particular strong emotion or feeling.

The two main actors look as if they really do not care about the other or about themselves. At each point of the movie, you feel that both the reconciliation and the divorce are equally plausible, and, after some time, you start to care as much as the two main characters (i.e., at all) about what will happen.
