How we stay independent. Editorial scores are not for sale. TVI may take on paid advisory or research work, but no commercial relationship buys coverage, advance access to scores, favorable treatment, or a change to a published finding. We pay for our own streaming subscriptions, and no reviewer sees sponsor data or affiliate revenue tied to a score. More about how we work →

The TVI Take

Asghar Farhadi's 2009 Caspian Sea-set film about a group of Iranian friends on a weekend trip whose disappearance of one member triggers cascading moral confrontations. The structural commitment to letting the disappearance-investigation premise be the cover for ensemble-moral-architecture inquiry is canonical Farhadi.
