I believe the greatness of this movie lies in it's universality. Farhadi's masterful storytelling breaks all geographical and cultural barriers and allows us access to this world of pride, family values and religion finally leading to communication breakdown.
The Story begins in a very innocuous manner and then catches the unsuspecting audience by surprise. One feature of this movie that makes it special is it approaches this intensely charged drama as a thriller. As we go deeper in the narrative the face of truth is peeled layer by layer and allows the viewer to be a part of all the events occurring on the screen. Performances are so good that I can assure you that you can mirror each character with people You know. Farhadi seems to have complete authority over this masterpiece.
i don't want to reveal any plot details. All I want to say is If you like serious movies dealing with real people and you like 'Character Study'in movies then your wait is over. This is It. The one.
If you like 'A Separation' then 'About Elly' is definitely recommended.
At the end i would like to quote some lines from 'Schism' By 'Tool'.
"Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers, between supposed brothers."
