Tom Keogh Seattle Times The point is effective, though the story paints itself into a corner with the mawkish particulars of Mahi's misery. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 7, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Simple, sweet, but mostly depressing Ken Loachian tale about idealistic love railing against politics and prejudice. Film marks the feature debut of docomaker Arefpour and adds to the burgeoning number of women directors in Iran. Nicely lensed and played. Its no world beater, but its simplicity is its charm. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Refreshing, and heart-breaking. Refreshing, because teen romance has not been depicted like this before. Heart-breaking, since it jars you into reality, where love does not conquer all. Excellent use of color in the movie. Baran Kosari is a treat to watch. Her depiction of the character Mahi, and endearingly inquiring speech is difficult to forget. Watch it if you get the chance. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Teenage romance, illegal immigrant issues, poignant expression of parental hopes, fears and disappointment. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Gripande och realistisk historia med bra personportätt. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
