I saw A Separation when it came out and I had mixed feelings. I liked it, but I'm not sure it's the masterpiece many make it out to be. I'm glad you were able to enjoy it. I struggled in places.
This is just my opinion, but I think there's a temptation to place this kind of cinema on a pedestal because of its perceived 'worthiness' or exoticism. I found A Separation to be a beautiful, well acted film but the plot took forever to unfold and felt drab all the while. I wouldn't watch it again.
I've noticed that this belief is akin to white supremacy in film circles.
