- Excerpt: This Oscar-nominated political saga begins as a moral dilemma and slowly becomes a paranoid thriller as one man’s loyalty to the regime turns him against his own household.

- Excerpt: Brilliantly written, perfectly acted and powerfully directed, “The Seed of the Sacred Fig” is a gem in its allegorical commentary on life in Iran and the oppression of its citizens as well as a warning, à la George Orwell, on the dangers of a totalitarian regime.
- Dan Stalcup @ The Goods: Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Rasoulof’s script is over-ambitious in both length and reach. It’s essentially two 80-minute films wed together, tackling the political protests from all sorts of different thematic and narrative angles.
