Asghar Farhadi is able to capture with his screenplay and direction the essence of a society that likes to create heroes and then bring them down in shame. This is a story of a simple man's journey who with the unquestionable generosity of his action is turned into a hero. The ordinary act, gets him into a web of bureaucracy that questions his integrity, honesty, and ethics. Amir Jadidi shines as Rahim Soltani, his small gestures, his eyes and posture carry the frustration, disappointment, sadness we all feel for his character. Just an astonishing performance.
One of the best movies of 2021.
