    All We Imagine as Light

    ★★★★

    Riveting, beautiful tale of several women yearning for something more, but constantly burdened by societal and economic pressures and a dash of internalized misogyny. A stellar turn from Kani Kusruti. 8.5/10

  • The Seed of the Sacred Fig

    The Seed of the Sacred Fig

    ★★★★

    It’s hard not to feel the length at times in this slow-burn thriller, but Mohammad Rasoulof expertly ratchets up the tension, leading to a superb, terrifying final act. 8.5/10

    Though it practically drowns in its own whimsy and familiarity, the charmingly sincere performances just barely manage to keep it afloat. 6/10
