When an Iranian couple move into a new apartment, its previous tenant remains an unsettling presence.
3011d ago
Asghar Farhadi's film yields a tonal and emotional friction that's simultaneously tragic, transcendent, and comic.
3011d ago
With exquisite patience and attention to detail, Asghar Farhadi, the writer and director, builds a solid and suspenseful plot out of ordinary incidents, and packs it with rich and resonant ideas.
3011d ago
The new movie from Asghar Farhadi, the masterly Iranian director of 'A Separation' and 'The Past,' is another finely cut gem of neorealist suspense.

People of Earth: If you’ve never seen a movie by Asghar Farhadi, please, why not treat yourself?
3011d ago
Asghar Farhadi puts his spin on Death Wish (sort of) in The Salesman.
3011d ago
But there is still intense pleasure to be had simply experiencing Farhadi’s fleet-footed, thrilling storytelling, and in a more convincing and consistent manner than with the disappointing “The Past.” Even when the story is getting more spiderweb-complex, he has an uncanny ability to root the dramatics in reality with nothing more than the popping of a toaster or the chinking of a broken window.
3011d ago
An actor goes to cruel extremes in Asghar Farhadi’s drama of hurt pride and revenge.
3011d ago
What follows, in the final half hour of the movie, is an astounding chamber piece, worthy of Strindberg, with the husband, the wife, and her aggressor stuck in a dance of doubt and death. With every shot, our sympathies flicker and tilt.
3011d ago
Director ably flexes his dramatic muscles in this slow burn story of a couple torn apart by a home invasion.
3011d ago
Excessively schematic plotting is a recurring weakness of writer-director Asghar Farhadi’s work. Films like About Elly and The Past suffered from contrived narratives, though the emotions they were able to generate – in the characters, as well as the viewer – were powerful enough that they largely compensated for the overdetermined nature of the films’ trajectories.
3011d ago
Like his Oscar-winning “A Separation,” Iranian director Asghar Farhadi’s latest, nominated for this year’s Best Foreign Language Film, is an expertly crafted domestic thriller. “The Salesman” includes a play within a play: Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman,” in which married couple Emad (Shahab Hosseini) and Rana (Taraneh Alidoosti) play Willy and Linda Loman.
3011d ago
The Salesman is tripped up by too many subplots.
3011d ago
Iranian director Asghar Farhadi's The Salesman is a tense, visceral drama of wounded masculinity — and therein lies part of its problem.
3011d ago
A middle-class couple start to see cracks in the brickwork in the A Separation director’s new drama, a deft spin on Arthur Miller’s play.
