   farhadi's best. i never expected him to be this powerful after years of playing the same tune over and over.
   
   this time it has everyhing. in addition to his now a little worn-out "miscommunication with white-lies-gone-wrong" basis, he now added another layer that how social media and state institutions has their own roles in it. so many little touches that we can single out and discuss for hours.
   
   at times the audience may feel he is pushing things a little bit to amplify the dramatic effect, but as the saying goes "nothing's more surprising than the life itself", so these things really occur in life, as they're shown on the big screen.
   
   and i love again how he leaves the seemingly important questions like "who was the woman?", "who forwarded that text?" or "what about his ex-wife?" unanswered. it's like he really wants the audience to face their instincts and challenge them: "you always focus on certain things and lose the bigger picture. this is here now, forget about the who or what. it'll just muddle the water a bit more. this is the result now." so that maybe instead of pointing the finger with clear cut answers and going to bed satisfying our conscience, with things still untangled you have to think about what can be done now and in the future to straighten things out.
