Oldboy at its most basic is a revenge story, this film is however much more complex than that.

This film does not really have a central character, and only two characters that we can root for.

I was excited to see Kind in this film, however like most of the characters he is in little of the film and we don't get to know him.

To read their stories in a review would not do them justice, their stories need to be experienced within the film.

Non-human characters are not an easy thing to pull off in film, but GERTY not only works it adds to the emotion of the film.

Every single character in this movie except for Olivia Wilde's is played completely over the top.

Usually I know immediately why I don't connect emotionally with a film, with Take Shelter I am having a hard time pinpointing the reason.

So it goes with A Separation a dialogue, character driven Iranian film that will have you invested throughout.

My expectations for this film were not super high, I certainly would never expect it to live up to the original which is one of the greatest films of all time.

If you read about these events separate of the film you will have a hard time believing that any human could ever be so ignorant as these characters.
