Inspired by true events and marking the beginning of a trilogy about secrets and lies, 180° Rule is the debut feature from writer-director Farnoosh Samadi. Cloaked under the veil of straightforward storytelling, the film lays bare the fallacy and untenability of rectitude. Samadi’s piercing family drama plunges into the pitfalls of tradition, providing a glimpse into the customary Iranian family structure while adapting universal notions of remorse and penance.
