Jessica Kiang Variety As the movie progresses, it becomes thrillingly clear that the cruel gender politics of those sinister genres can map themselves in mutually illuminating ways onto an inquisitive critique of female oppression in contemporary Iran. Dec 5, 2017 Full Review Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter Chilly but stylish homage to vintage film noir. Dec 4, 2017 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Although character motivations might, at times, seem a little opaque, this film offers a commentary on a society in which even a successful woman is nothing unless she has a man's support.
