Yalda, A Night for Forgiveness (2019)

There really is a tv show, apparently, televised in Iran in which criminals get a chance on camera to be forgiven for transgressions sometimes as serious as murder, and this movie takes that concept as its basis and tells the story of Anar, a young woman seeking mass public forgiveness for murder - a bit melodramatic for me, but thriller-like tension arises from the fact the young woman is not as contrite about the crime as the show producers and the murdered man's wife would like.

★★★☆☆
