A Separation

A Separation isn?t worth watching only as a precise sociological analysis or a political critique of contemporary Iran?those qualities would be cold comfort indeed if they didn?t exist in the context of a sad, funny, suspenseful story about love, grief, and the search for justice. The ensemble cast?especially Maadi as the harried, short-tempered, ethically conflicted Nader?is extraordinary. As has become a tradition in Iranian cinema, the child characters are not just props but essential participants in the story, and both young actresses?Sarina Farhadi, the director?s daughter, as the wise-beyond-her-years Termeh and Kimia Hosseini as the caretaker?s observant, saucer-eyed little girl?deliver impeccable naturalistic performances.
