This is a welcome release for A Separation director Asghar Farhadi’s 2009 film. Three families holiday together at a remote and run-down cabin, taking with them a young woman, Elly. When she disappears, concern soon turns to recrimination as the fabric of these familes’ worlds is torn apart. Like Farhadi’s subsequent Oscar winner, About Elly is a complex moral tale whose Hitchcockian elements make for compelling cinema.
