Top critics, in their words
. The basic plot - a man and a woman traveling and talking - is reminiscent of Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise/Before Sunset films, but the way in which Certified Copy calls into question the nature of reality is more akin to Inception.
The conclusion is abrupt and unsatisfying, but the philosophical dialogue Kiarostami manages to keep aloft for well over an hour touches on intriguing questions of openness, self-honesty, and personal freedom.
The movie threatens to become a sketch about a coquette and a boor squabbling at each other to little effect.
"Certified Copy" promises more than it delivers, but the limited portions are fresh.
There's a divinely comical lightness to Binoche here: Even in states of conniption and complaint, she's floating, albeit manically.
