English Reviews

2 english reviews of About Elly (2009)

  • 1. The AV Club
    9.1 / 10

    This is clearly the work of a master in the making, an artist on the cusp of greatness. Farhadi may be fixated on fibbers, but there’s almost no one working today who makes films so emotionally honest.

  • 2. Hollywood Reporter
    9 / 10

    A taut, involving drama centered around the mysterious disappearance of a young woman, "About Elly" confirms director Asghar Farhadi as a major talent in Iranian cinema whose ability to chronicle the middle-class malaise of his society is practically unrivaled.
