The Seed of the Sacred Fig (out Feb 27) is an Iranian film about a family who disintegrates when the father is appointed as a judge for the Revolutionary Court, and the two daughters rebel against Iranian authorities. It's a strong film, for the most part, but the weak, Hollywood-style ending undermines the good work. Grade: B.
