Review of A Separation

A Separation (2011)
9/10
Highly skeptical first 35 minutes, then it lives up to the hype
29 November 2012
Well this got a lot of hype. Top 200 movie of all time. Glowing reviews. Something like 96 on Rotten Tomato.

But a foreign film and the subject matter didn't' exactly look to be all that exciting. It looked like it had the potential of being a boring politically correct Hollywood foreign film Sundance snoozefest. Subtitles.

For the first 35 minutes it sure looked that way. Then things started to get interesting and it was nonstop the rest of the way through.

Boy what a great movie this was. Worth every inch the praise it got. Great, great movie.

Great acting. Great plot. Seemed very real. Didn't even notice the subtitles.
