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.
