A Separation (2011)

Movie
A Separation
8.3/10on IMDbReleased
Hiring someone to care for an elderly father seems a practical response to a marriage breaking apart. Farhadi makes that arrangement the meeting point of incompatible duties, unequal resources and things people cannot bring themselves to say. Notice how a seemingly settled account changes when another person speaks. The suspense comes from understanding more, rather than finding a convenient villain.

About A Separation

A married couple are faced with a difficult decision – to improve the life of their child by moving to another country or to stay in Iran and look after a deteriorating parent who has Alzheimer's disease.
