As with other Asghar Farhadi movies, this movies is an authentic window into real life. You can empathize with every character. Every line of dialog is realistic. The acting is superb. The twists of the story are not forced, rather fit organically with the story and how the characters think and receive information.
The subject matter makes it hard not to vilify the antagonist but Farhadi manages to do so by shedding light on their layered character and motives. Just as in real life, the people who do evil are not pure evil themselves.
The realistic portrayal of the movie also makes watching the movie a self-exploration journey. You can't help but put yourself into the shoes of the characters and think what you would have done differently.
