A girl (Micsha Sadeghi) and her brother (Shiraz Haq) leave Iran to start a new life in the United Kingdom.

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

It is affectionate, humane, tender and, ultimately, optimistic.

It's by turns clunkily contrived then wondrously natural (if raw) - let's hope Gharavi, like her heroine, progresses towards greater fulfillment.

Rated: 3/5

Time Out

Worthwhile ideas, but lax execution lets it down.

The List

Gharavi finds an element of poetry in the wide-open spaces of the North East countryside through which Nasrine passes in her journey of self-discovery.

Rated: 3/5

A tender and touching Iranian drama by Tina Gharavi that's fully engaging throughout thanks to an impressive script, strong score and a terrific central performance from rising star, Micsha Sadeghi.

Rated: 3/5

Observer (UK)

It's a sad, highly schematic movie, with far too much incidental music, and it's often awkward.

I Am Nascrine is a brutally honest and realistic vision of changing culture and leaving home and tackles being a refugee without making it the explicit center of the film's moral. Films can always be told that they could have been improved but Tina Gharavi's film stands on its own merits. It's good enough. At least it's a true vision, opposed to many films out there. Not to mention the actors were very involved the project, which is always a plus.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
