It was brilliant, specially the simplicity of the movie, It is about a girl who sets out to buy a goldfish, but things happen on the way.

A movie whose ending is sadder than the thrill you get when the little girl finally gets her money.
This movie reminds me of what it is like to be 7, and very few films pull that off or even try. (T)

Maybe kids should be watching this kinda stuff instead of American trash like, dare I mention it, High School Musical.
Seriously, though, this is a really good film.
Right up there with the finest Iranian films I've ever seen. Aida Mohammadkhani is just angelic in her potrayal of Razieh. The film is a masterpiece in storytelling, something more film makers must stay true to.
Its about a little girl trying to find something she lost and I assure you if you give this sucker your full attention you'll be going crazy with tension. An unusual thriller and so far probably my favorite piece of Iranian cinema.
