Being one of the numerous spawns and children of Farhadi's social, tense dramas, 180 Degree Rule fails in every shade and layer in which the latter succeeded. The tragedy and the events leading to it are shallow, forced and imprecise as an idea or set of ideas that fail to properly culminate the film's storyline. The acting is questionable, with the most curious casting of the male lead actor P.Jamshidi who know more about football than serious acting and whose presence is almost comedic, completely out of tune with this otherwise grave film. There are some bright moments in this film, some qualities scattered here and there, but the project as a whole is a failure.
