Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Alami's directorial style is line with the subtle yet suspenseful realism reminiscent of such contemporary Iranian filmmakers as Asghar Farhadi (A Separation, The Salesman) and Majid Barzegar (Parviz, A Very Ordinary Citizen). Apr 7, 2020 Full Review Godfrey Cheshire RogerEbert.com A sharply crafted drama that has elements of noirish suspense. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 5, 2018 Full Review Wesley Morris New York Times It's impressive that Alami can put all this across - romance, suspense and, in the moving final act, a kind of tragedy - and maintain the movie's nimbleness. But he's a natural storyteller. Dec 4, 2018 Full Review Ken Eisner Georgia Straight The moodily shot tale is full of surprising turns and clever insights. May 16, 2019 Full Review Robin Clifford Reeling Reviews I had to think about "The Charmer" for a while after seeing it, to let it grow on me. Rated: B Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Laura Clifford Reeling Reviews ...it is quite the surprise to learn that we've really been watching a psychological thriller of sorts, Esmail wearing so many masks we never see him clearly until the film's final moments. Rated: B Jan 9, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
