Is Asghar Farhadi‘s A Separation THE single best movie of 2011, as many have made it out to be?  Well, it might juss be the single bestest Iranian movie of 2011 (out of the total of 1 we’ve seen)!  Or perhaps the bestestest movie of 2011 with a guy (Peyman Moadi) that has a peppered beard that mostly & moistly resembles our own beard!  Or perchance the one starring the hottiest/angriest red(dyed)hair wrapped in a scarf lady (Leila Hatami)!  Or perzantze the one with the year’s worst screen employee (played by Sareh Bayat) who’s got the mos adorable daughter (Kimia Hosseini) east of the Nile river!  There’s no question that it’s tops in 2011 movies when it comes to sequences with the mos poignant hitting one’s self in the head with one’s own hands (Shahab Hosseini)!  But movie?  Hardly!  Sure, it’s nice to see that Iran is capable of other things besides possibly being nuclearly armed, but best movie of 2011?????????  Did these people see Tintin???  Well, that’s not our #1 pick, but it’s up there, and you’ll find out next week what 2011’s #1 is be, by our standards, which should be the standard

Verdictgo: Jeepers Worth A Peepers
