Ty Burr Boston Globe "24 Frames" is slow cinema at its slowest, and as meaningful as you want to make it. Above all, it breathes with the sensibility of an artist who saw beauty in people and places where most of us never thought to look. Rated: 3/4 Apr 14, 2018 Full Review Imogen Sara Smith Film Comment Magazine This mixing of the real and the unreal is summed up in that final image: a photograph of a film, or rather a film of a photograph of a film, suspended between stillness and motion, between watching and dreaming. Mar 2, 2018 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle 24 Frames is a classically Kiarostami work, indicative of his life's curiosities and trademark inquiries, but far short of a culminating utterance. Rated: 3/5 Feb 22, 2018 Full Review Taylor Baker Drink in the Movies Episode 41: Best of 2019 So Far Rated: 80/100 Oct 4, 2021 Full Review Dustin Chang ScreenAnarchy The film is a great testament to his being as an artist and as a person. It's easily the best film I've seen this year so far. Jul 17, 2020 Full Review Bill Arceneaux Neaux Reel Idea Breathtaking and transfixing. There is a sadness to 24 FRAMES, but it's never a tragedy.

pasha a A masterpiece! A great farewell. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Abbas Kiarostami's last film - a film he also knew would be his last one. I have seen a few of his films and he is probably the most known Iranian director of all time. The consept is simple. 24 still shots - all of them lasts for four and a half minute. Things happen on screen. There's not much. Mostly just cows, birds or other animals. Often in snowy or watery environments. I like the idea a lot, but not the excecution. It's basically an animated film, but it is flat. No words, mostly no big happenings. The sound is the best feature here and the fact that you never will be stuck with a picture for more than five minutes. Speaking of pictures, it was originally ment to concist of different painings - edited into before and after they were painted. He does this this in the first scene, "Frame 1" but the rest stick with (often) heavy edited live shots. Some interesting angels, and there are some impressive stills, but this is just too flat and it's way too easy to look away as I never felt any stories gave me much within the first 30 seconds. Frame 13 and a couple other's where good, but that's about it. I did not find this to be a proper farewell to a great director. 3 out of 10 birds or cows. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This film was almost good.
