      Audience Member Exceptional drama. On par with 'A separation'. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Watched it as boxxy software app recommendation. While the film can be taken to an extent as a critique of Iran's strictly regimented societal norms, it's, even more, a devastating dissection of parent-child dysfunctions that know no national borders. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Wendy Ide Observer (UK) There's a jagged emotional authenticity scored into the film like initials carved into a desk. Rated: 4/5 Aug 22, 2020 Full Review Lillian Crawford Little White Lies Foroughi delivers a strong debut with a perfectly pitched performance from Mahour Jabbari. Rated: 3/5 Aug 20, 2020 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Ava is made with superb technique and real style. Rated: 4/5 Aug 19, 2020 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A welcome character study about a rebellious teenage girl in Iran. Rated: B+ Jul 13, 2021 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall There's an earthy, realistic tone to this drama, which explores adolescent independence through the eyes of a teenage girl in Iran. Rated: 4/5 Aug 27, 2020 Full Review Fatima Sheriff One Room With A View Though the social politics can be hard to follow, Jabbari's performance is unforgettable, with hurt and rage emanating from her and multiplying as every slight chips away at Ava's sanity. Rated: 4/5 Aug 24, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
