The Salesman tells the story of a young couple Emad and Rana who play the lead roles in a local rendition of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.

Reception

Owen Gleiberman wrote in Variety that "The new movie from Asghar Farhadi, the masterly Iranian director of A Separation and The Past, is another finely cut gem of neorealist suspense."[7] Donald Clarke's review from The Irish Times stated that "The latest from Asghar Farhadi sees another family put under stress after a violent attack."[8] Jo-Ann Titmarsh on HeyUGuys wrote "Asghar Farhadi wowed audiences and critics with A Separation in 2011. Although his next film, French-set The Past, was less successful, the Iranian director’s latest offering was highly anticipated. While lacking the intensity of A Separation, this is an intelligent and interesting film."[9] Deborah Young in The Hollywood Reporter summarized the film as "Masterful particularly in the finale, but not so readily engaging."[10]
