2.5/4

The story takes some unbelievably tragic twists and turns, and along the way, Dastmalchian unfolds a riveting performance, aided by Schiffli's beautiful and unobtrusive style.

Schiffli directs with a nice balance between momentum and naturalism. Yet the creditable handling can't quite mask material that feels inorganically rooted in secondhand dramatic clichés.

2.0/4.0

The two leads are committed and must be commended but the script by Dastmalchian becomes far too melodramatic for its own good and winds up wasting their fine efforts.
