Critical acclaim for A SEPARATION:
"The Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film belongs right here... 'A Separation' is a landmark film. No way will you be able to get it out of your head."
- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"It's a thrilling domestic drama that offers acute insights into human motivations and behavior as well as a compelling look at what goes on behind a particular curtain that almost never gets raised."
- Kenneth Turan, L.A. Times
"A constant surprise, a film that captures the drama and suspense of real life as urgently as any picture released this year."
- Bob Mondello, NPR
"A Separation is not the work of a constrained artist. It's a great movie in which the full range of human interaction seems to play itself out before our eyes."
- Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
-----------------------------------------------------------
Critical acclaim for THIS IS NOT A FILM:
The New York Times Critic's Pick
"A masterpiece. Provocative, radical and at times surprisingly playful."
- A.O. Scott, New York Times
"A powerful must-see...turns censorship into art."
- Indiewire
***** (five stars) "As inspiring as it is heartbreaking."
- Time Out New York
"Ignore the title This Is Not a Film - this is a great film, and a triumph of creativity and courage over repression."
- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
"It's a political statement, an act of defiance, a master class in one auteur's body of work and process, and a document of a life unseen."
- Karina Longworth, Village Voice
