A Separation





















A Separation
I was a bit disappointed with this Iranian drama.
It won the Oscar for Best Foreign film this year,
so, it had to have been really good.
The title is misleading.
Only the beginning and the ending of the story
deals with the separation of this couple.
The rest of the movie is about a lady who miscarries
and accusing the main guy for it.
There were some okay moments.
I just felt like it wasn't powerful enough.
Now, the ending was powerful.
It's a tough choice for an 11 year old girl to make
(choosing between the two parents).
Why it won the Oscar, might be political.
I liked "In Darkness" and "Bullhead" more than this
(those two were also nominated).
