A deeply affecting humanist melodrama.February 07, 2014
"The Past" is long and occasionally feels slow - as real life sometimes does - but never false.January 30, 2014
Farhadi is the rare director who can establish an atmosphere of intimacy that resonates with meaning and sentiment.March 25, 2014
In the end, so much of The Past just doesn't have that crucial ring of truth to it. Disappointing and underwhelming.January 24, 2014
What a teller of domestic truths Asghar Farhadi has become.May 09, 2014
Um filme povoado por pessoas que tentam encontrar sentido onde não há nenhum.April 21, 2014
It's a testament to Farhadi that I could even consider a movie as good as 'The Past' to be any kind of disappointment.July 28, 2014
One of the most impressive things about Farhadi's film is the way he reveals facts about the tale and his extraordinary timing in which he reveals them. The movie unfolds like a surprise birthday gift.September 07, 2014
The revelations Farhadi relies on to propel the story are not as compelling as he gives them credit.April 16, 2014
This slim and pretty terrific thriller may just prove to be the ultimate antidote to this summer's bloated superhero onslaught.February 13, 2014
Farhadi has pulled off the dysfunctional family mystery trick twice now, brilliantly, and perhaps three times in a row would be too much. But it's doubtful he will leave behind the fertile ground of family ties and modern messiness. He sees so much there.January 24, 2014
The Past is about people who wish they could erase what came before and just live in the now, but life doesn't let anyone off the hook that easily.
