This thriller film contains an unexpectedly intense amount of drama and questioning. I recommend it for its immersive atmosphere.

A mysterious and impressive masterpiece. A wonderful starting point to discover the subtleties of Iranian cinema. The depth of the characters and the fluidity of the story will captivate you. Absolutely must-see!

The limited indifference of the warden to the escaped convict from his prison and the agonizing tension between the wrongly convicted man and his journey to execution create a compelling atmosphere in this grim film. The director's attempt to balance chance and acuity is intriguing, but ultimately lacks satisfying resolution. It left a slight sense of incompleteness lingering on my tongue. 6.5/10
