Circumstance (2011)

It's current-day Iran and two friends going through a rebellious phase fall in love.  The fact that the friends are both female is a problem.  Throw in a newly fanatical Muslim big brother and it's going to blow up into much more than a problem.  This is a vivid reminder that, no matter how far we’ve come in the West (and we’re still not actually THERE yet), much of the world is still lagging behind in tolerance.

Heartbreaking.

My only complaint: I had a hard time keeping the two similar-looking girls straight (no pun intended).
