Press
"It is by any measure a great film, a quiet, yet overwhelmingly intense production that forces us to recalibrate our notion of what suspenseful cinema can mean and do." - Star Tribune
"There is perhaps no director more adept at capturing the unfolding stories of ordinary people when the drama of their lives runs away with them." - The Guardian
"With exquisite patience and attention to detail, Asghar Farhadi builds a solid and suspenseful plot out of ordinary incidents, and packs it with rich and resonant ideas."- New York Times
"The Salesman is a typically wrenching film for Farhadi, one that morphs from a quiet family drama to a low-key tale of revenge, and is all the more impressive for how seamlessly it executes that shift." - The Atlantic
