all the scenes and dialogues are like a signature none director could make a film better than this. I loved how they criticized sharia

the camera work is perfectly aligned with its characters; both are consumed by something far greater than themselves: Mina, played wonderfully by the actress, with her rage and grief, and Raza with his guilt. Is the system wrong? Sure, but what can the individual do to break it and achieve justice? Or rather, how can a woman put up with such an oppressive system?

a common marker of iranian cinema, ballad of a white cow is another great moral dillemma cum drama that delivers a fierce critique on the iranian legal system as well as its larger society. the cast is wonderful and provide heartfelt performances from start to end.
