Review of Circumstance (2011) by David H — 21 Oct 2011
A wonderful, slow, tender, thought-provoking, sexy, moving film. Beautiful direction and a narrative far from classic Hollywood-storytelling, yet still incredibly gripping. The entire cast is outstanding, but the two leading ladies are mesmerizing in the subtlety of their performances, their chemistry is incredible.
A wonderful insight into Iranian youth culture and the coping mechanisms people find in a oppressive environment. Seldom have I seen a movie so entertaining (funny, even, surprisingly!), so sexy and so moving that at the same time managed to feel so very true.
