"Circumstance" is not a good movie and it basically strays into distracting eroticism. There is no convincing story here worth telling. You are not sure if the girls were in love or just caught up in finding and experimenting with their sexuality in very young age. Lesbian fantasies throughout the movie are visualised all too aesthetic with bright lights, colours and music. This is not just unnecessary and counterproductive, but also far from the reality in a society with huge heritage and significant past that in fact admire naivety and innocence. You may just like the way it portrayed, again imperfectly, the unseen side of Iran's underground culture but "Circumstance" is hardly about revelation and more interested in titillation!
