This film is directed by the famous Iranian director "Jafar Panahi" who is in prison now because of his political beliefs. "The Circle" won many prizes in the international festivals such as "Venice Film Festival", "San Sebastián International Film Festival", "Singapore International Film Festival", etc. but The Islamic Republic government banned this film in Iran. "The Circle" criticizes the treatment of women in Iran. Panahi gives a chance to amateur actors to play the main roles in the film. All the actors are amateurs, except Fereshteh Sadr Orafai who plays Pari, and Fatemeh Naghavi, who plays the mother abandoning her daughter. I give to "The Circle" 9/10, because I think it has a realistic view to the problems of Iranian Women in my country.
