The actors are excellent, the script is clever, and Farhadi is a great director. "A separation" and "Darbareye Elly" are great movies.
However, i can't recommend it, despite its qualities. This is a deeply depressing movie, it brings sadness to the viewer and, in the end, there is no catharsis, just doom and gloom.
I liked the tension, it made me feel anxious, i empathize with the protagonist. If you are in the mood for sadness, maybe you will love this movie. This is a well directed tragedy, but, as i said, there is no catharsis, and every tragedy needs one.
In life, there is no catharsis, but in movies, i would prefer the opposite.
This is "Art imitates Life", but only the ugly parts, sadness, pain and despair.
If you are ok with this, you can watch it.
