Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Making only his second film outside of his native Iran, Kiarostami undercuts the rigid protocols of polite Japanese society with intimations of violence.

Kiarostami's apparent simplicity masks serious complexity.

fresh:
Kiarostami is masterful in his layering of space, using glass walls, mirrors, and, in one instance, the aligned side windows of parked cars to suggest a world of divisions, both between people and within them.

Maybe it all serves a purpose, but a movie about empty people doesn't necessarily have to feel empty itself.

A Rorschach test of our own responses to the intimate drama unfolding before us.
