Both Boosheri and Kazemy are newcomers, but their spirited, tender performances -- from the eroticism to the shame and the flights of freedom -- feel completely, devastatingly real.

Keshavarz has cast mostly newcomers with surprisingly effective results, especially the gorgeous Kazemy, whose somber beauty and quiet focus give her character the gravitas she deserves.

Iran's religious fundamentalists can't be pleased with \Circumstance,\ a bold denunciation of their country's intolerance, especially toward women.

This is a movie about longing, desire, desperation and the abandonment of principle -- quite a collection of themes, all universal.
