V.A. Musetto New York Post Beautiful and bleak. Rated: 3/4 Jul 29, 2004 Full Review Dave Kehr New York Times This ponderous, relentlessly grim Iranian film is about an adolescent girl who must disguise herself as a boy in order to survive. Rated: 2/5 Jul 29, 2004 Full Review Laura Sinagra Village Voice The filmmaker achieves the desired sense of remoteness and claustrophobic doom, and though the story could be told more economically, her slow approach conveys the distended chronology that attends an indentured servitude resembling slavery. Jul 27, 2004 Full Review David Sterritt Christian Science Monitor Acted as a drama, paced like a ritual, filmed as a slice of rural Iranian life. Rated: 4/4 Jul 29, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
