Director Koole shows off pristine imagery and lush sound design, but he doesn't have much to hang it on.

Rated: 2/5

Houston Chronicle

Ali Asgari's second feature is an intimate, compelling look at a relationship in crisis coming up against the immovable wall that is Iran's religious bureaucracy.

Rated: 4/5

IONCINEMA.com

Its characters behave believably given the personalities painted for them, but fails to result in anything as profound or as resonating as its reach would suggest.

Rated: 2.5/5

The Skinny

Despite its narrative problems, Disappearance is a bold statement on the state of healthcare in Iran and the lack of agency women have over their bodies.

Rated: 3/5

Cinema Scope

Maybe the film needed more of that hilariously overwrought quality to actually hold the viewer's attention.
