Review of A Separation (2011) by Dan S — 11 Sep 2012
An emotional, powerful look at two families intertwined by tragedy, and how each pleads their case for innocence and how justice should be theirs. A quiet movie that catches you off guard, all while possessing the emotional firepower of justice, guilt, pride, family, and pain in one cannon.
Tremendous performances anchor this strong film that, like its fitting conclusion, refuses to pick a side, instead giving the viewer a look through objective lenses. A rare work that packs an unmistakable punch, and undoubtedly the best movie of 2011 that will not garner a mainstream audience, but great films like this are truly hard to come by nowadays.
