Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter A strong entry in the recent plethora of Iranian neo-realist films. Jan 11, 2006 Full Review R. Emmet Sweeney Village Voice Sadr-Ameli opts for a tone of distanced objectivity, where melodramatic revelations are slow-pedaled; his documentary background is evident in the detailed portrait of institutional sexism and an even-handed struggle with the ethics of abortion. Jan 10, 2006 Full Review Dana Stevens New York Times This Iranian film quietly observes the title character's transformation from naïve schoolgirl to wary but proud single mother.
