      FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/it-was-just-an-accident-review/

      "It Was Just an Accident is a testament to the unwavering courage of Jafar Panahi, a filmmaker who refuses to be silenced.

      It's a brave protest executed as a psychological thriller that, despite occasionally stumbling in its own need to be overtly political with the message sometimes delivered too directly manages, in its conclusion, to transcend its narrative and raise moral questions that are difficult to ignore.

      An intense and intrepid invitation to confront the inconvenient truth that, under an oppressive regime, the line between justice and fatality is often drawn by chance."
