Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
As matter-of-fact as its mouthful of a title, Danis Tanovic's touching social-realist drama An Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker offers a modest, low-key glimpse into the struggles of an impoverished Roma family.

It's all very intimate and convincing ... and the performances are naturalistic throughout. But there's nothing here we haven't seen before.
