- Excerpt: About Elly is devastating because the lies here are simultaneously necessary, useless, and so dreadfully familiar.

- Excerpt: About Elly further cements Asghar Farhadi’s reputation as one of our finest directors working today.
- Jonathan Richards @ www.jonrichardsplace.com
- Excerpt: An unmistakable takeaway of Asghar Farhadi’s masterful thriller is to make it abundantly clear to American viewers that, guess what, Iranians are a lot like us.
- Ron Wilkinson @ Monsters and Critics
- Excerpt: This pot-boiler takes the viewer by surprise after a slow start, but the start is too long and the surprise too short.
