Review of Manuscripts Don't Burn (2014) by Simon Kinnear for Total Film — 07 Sep 2014
The initially cryptic plotting and low-key realism are familiar from Iranian dramas; what’s striking is how Rasoulof shifts into such a lucid, gut-punching tale of persecution. The film’s flaws are forgivable; its very existence should be applauded.
