This award-winning debut feature from Sundance is an empathetic take on the anxieties over identity and belonging as Afghan refugees hope to start a new life in Iran.
Garland’s sometimes tonally suspect fourth feature isn’t as sharp or clear-eyed as it set out to be, but it is technically strong and works as a cautionary tale as journalists attempt to chronicle the chaos and violence that come from an imploding America.
