Highly recommend. Ali Abassi true-crime movie about a serial killer in Iran in the 90s/2000s. It's on Netflix.

Very disturbing, and Zar Ebrahimi is amazing as the protagonist (also, interesting side note - Ebrahimi is an Iranian actress who, after becoming famous for her role in a terrible soap opera, was basically exiled from Iran in the 2000s after someone leaked a sex tape of her, so she definitely understands the Iranian patriarchy).

The guy who plays the serial killer is also great.

Oh, it's only on American Netflix (I forgot not everybody has a VPN). From what I can tell it's maybe on Mubi?

It looks good. Watched the trailer! Yep, on Mubi. Thanks, Ben.

If you watch it, tell us what you thought! I was disappointed this kind of flew under the radar.
