Rick Groen Globe and Mail There's much to recommend this movie, but not enough to propel it into the lofty orbit we've come to expect from Iran's cadre of talented directors.

Anderson Combustible Celluloid The movie succeeds, thanks to Ahangarani's suberb performance. Rated: 3/4 Mar 21, 2002 Full Review Liz Braun Jam!
