Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The Kafkaesque story itself proves more engaging while the narrative illusion is sustained than it does when Panahi's imposed, solipsistic self-regard shatters it.

fresh:
It doesn't carry the impact of some of Panahi's more conventional films. It's not his best movie, but the fact that he's making a movie at all is remarkable.

rotten:
Unfortunately, Closed Curtain also indicates there's only so much an artist can say about his own oppression before he winds up in a creative cul-de-sac.

Less satisfying than his previous pic, yet still a bold, melancholy statement.

A complex film-within-a-film structure uses the favorite techniques of reflexive Iranian cinema to assert the need to recount reality.
