My review
Very much enjoyed the first two acts which showed heavy restrained tension and powerful themes. However it all got a bit ridiculous in the final act and this washed out the build up to an extent.
Plot overview
Investigating judge Iman grapples with paranoia amid political unrest in Tehran. When his gun vanishes, he suspects his wife and daughters, imposing draconian measures that strain family ties as societal rules crumble.
