Reception
In a review for Variety, Dennis Harvey wrote,"Taking its cue from that no-nonsense protag (and in contrast to the atypically rich palate of Mirkarimi’s previous film, A Cube of Sugar), Today is terse and unadorned in nearly all aspects. That rigor lends slow-burning impact to a story (and in particular an ending) that might easily have been played for mawkish sentimentality. Houman Behmanesh’s crisp lensing is the dominant element in the professionally assembled package; there’s no music at all until a bedside conversation provides some belated emotional release for the two leads, its poignancy aptly underlined by Amin Honarmand’s score."[4]
