Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for anyone who's survived an office job and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. Anyone who's had a job will recognize these people. Sits nicely alongside Laura.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 55 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A police officer finds himself haunted by a traumatic childhood memory as he searches for a missing man in the rugged mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan, in this striking feature debut by Batin Ghobadi.
