In Asian Movie Pulse, in the Top 20 Best West Asian Films of 2020, Abbas Amini’s THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE earned the third place (https://asianmoviepulse.com/2020/12/the-20-best-west-asian-films-of-2020/2/).

Winner of Kim Jiseok Award in Busan and Ecumenical Jury’s Special Mention in Mannheim-Heidelberg, the film is described as “a blend of social drama and thriller whose message, bleak as it may be, shows the cruel logic of a system based on necessity and economic survival. Abbas Amini’s feature cannot be viewed as a “whodunit” since the perpetrator is known, but rather as a study of the world which allows them to roam free and go about their business.” (https://asianmoviepulse.com/2020/11/film-review-the-slaughterhouse-2020-by-abbas-amini/).
