Critic Reviews
-
Deborah Young, Variety
The connections [Kiarostami] makes between his cinema and Italian neo-realism will interest scholars, students and fledgling directors.
-
Manohla Dargis, New York Times
A tediously didactic, often condescendingly reductive 10-part lesson on cinema.
-
J. Hoberman, Village Voice
Less illuminating than pedantic, as well as tediously self-absorbed.
-
Mark R. Leeper, rec.arts.movies.reviews
His approach to filmmaking is highly individualistic, though much of his individual style is an adaptation to the constraints of making films in Iran.
-
Jon Popick, Planet Sick-Boy
Even the most loyal fans of the Iranian master won't want to pass up the chance to see this.
