Australian film website Inside Film wrote that “a three time APSA winner, Farhadi’s role as Jury President marks the fifth APSA ceremony of which he will be a part and the first time an Iranian filmmaker serves as President of the APSA International Jury. The renowned writer/director is one of the only filmmakers to receive APSA nominations for three different films across the seven-year history of the event and his films have received an impressive ten nominations in total.”
