Story writing unit

According to a 2011 NY TIMES article, Asghar Farhadi's film, A Separation "is a rigorously honest movie about the difficulties of being honest, a film that tries to be truthful about the slipperiness of truth. It also sketches a portrait — perhaps an unnervingly familiar picture for American audiences — of a society divided by sex, generation, religion and class."

Write your observations on the above comment, as a viewer from a different culture (or same, as the case may be). What in your opinion was Farhadi's take on the situation and how did he convey that through his story and writing choices?
