Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Micransix Crappy film
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
adonis98-743-186503 A married couple are faced with a difficult decision - to improve the life of their child by moving to another country or to stay in Iran and look after a deteriorating parent who has Alzheimer's disease. A Separation is unfortunately once again a terrible and over long drama that never achieves to use and show the word properly but also is very slow paced and muddled as a whole. Probably another movie that shouldn't and doesn't deserve to be in the Top 250 movies of all time since nothing happens for the entire running time and just blows it. (F)
chaye_shirin It's the best movie that you could possibly watch. Drama and everything together
dynamicovi This movie stunned me while I watched it. It showed the emotions between husband & wife, father & daughter, son & father & it's beyond that. It also tells the story of human's belief in religion. It will show you that a moment's fault can cause a disaster to you. Watch the movie and you will not regret.
eyeintrees An ambiguous miserable soap opera. As a study of how people behave, it's possibly a fairly accurate depiction. Everyone lies, everyone has an agenda, poor people do things they must in order to survive... and get taken advantage of, in the process compromising themselves, becoming less than their better selves and becoming less autonomous and more attached to the absurdity of religion... same story told again and again. And wealthier people appearing to be educated and beyond reproach are quite willing to be less than their better selves for the ends to justify the means.A man hires a woman desperate for work. In order to pay off her husband's creditors this heavily pregnant women is supposed to take care of an old man who is overweight and struck with Alzheimer.Less about a separation, and more about the children jammed between parents and how they must cope with, and make decisions based on the stupidity they see all around them.If you have issues with religion and its inherent moronic side; with class inequality and its, well, inequality, or the tragedy of how children must cope in the messy cauldron caused by adults, probably not the movie for you.I found this well acted, scripted well but a depressing pot boiler of miscommunication and angst that is the cause of most human drama played worldwide daily. Utterly depressing and annoying with no clear ending. Some nonsense about stolen money which is later admitted by the arrogant buffoon of a father to never have been stolen... lots of bickering, unhappiness pouring out at you like a stream of vomit...on and on and on... yuk.
