A Separation (Asghar Farhadi, 2011)

7/10
A very interesting family drama from Iran that raises a multitude of ethical questions, the strength of this movie is the way it shifts guilt, implicitness, and good/bad intentions from one character to the other seamlessly. The movie felt almost like a prism - with different light let in depending on which angle it was being viewed at. Unfortunately I was never as wrapped up in the drama as much as I wanted to be, and it didn't really register with me emotionally. Good, and hardly flawed, but not something I connected to either.
