Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Panahi, against all odds, has kept up a steady work-rate since his ban came into effect, but this is a full-force return to the dramatic voltage of his work a quarter-century ago. Rated: 4/5 Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Tomris Laffly Elle Panahi signs his name under one of his best and most personal films to date. Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Justin Chang The New Yorker Cinema, manipulative or not, still has its uses, and Panahi summons all the medium’s expressive powers to deliver a fierce, unambiguous denunciation of authoritarian regimes the world over. Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Stephen A. Russell Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Heroic Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi’s latest is his most devastatingly personal yet ... Painting an engrossing morality play ... it's a story that burns with fury, doubt, despair, hope and possible forgiveness. Jun 18, 2025 Full Review Wael Khairy The Cairo Scene "It Was Just An Accident" contains perhaps the most perfect ending of any film I’ve seen this year. It invites a kind of active spectatorship where audiences must reckon with the discomfort of moral ambiguity. Jun 15, 2025 Full Review Rene Sanchez Cine Sin Fronteras Panahi masterfully balances tension and rage with humor and compassion in this powerful, layered and deeply personal story.
