Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A beautiful, strange film, deeply moving and no surprise from [director] Majidi.

fresh:
Explicitly religious, intensely poetic meditations, filled with recurrent symbols and suffused with a spirit of divine apprehension. [It is] sad beyond measure.

fresh:
A perfectly worked out story and a marvelous new step forward for Iranian director Majid Majidi. It is also, in some ways, yet another step forward for his country's cinema, a national art that grows more accomplished every year.

fresh:
Majidi infuses his simple yet eloquent tale with stunning imagery designed to make us relate to Youssef's reawakening.
