A Separation - Ashgar Farhadi

A film set in modern day Iran.  Recounts the break-up of a marriage - the conflicts bring in many of the current issues facing Iran:  religious vs. secular; poor vs. middle-class; social roles and power between men and women.  The interesting thing is everyone's life is a mess, all the characters, no matter which side of the divides they fall on.

Interesting but not outstanding - confirms my general lack of interest in films about families.
