Audience Member Interesting to see what life is like in Kabul, but the story itself did not capture my attention that much, and the ending was disappointing. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Close to documentary look at Kabul when woman leaves a child back of taxi and the driver has to deal with the situation.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 1H30 c'est trop court pour condenser tout ça, c'est vraiment dommage. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Très bon film afghan sur un bébé abandonné dans un taxi et recueilli par le chauffeur ! (vu chez moi le mardi 2 mars 2010 vers 11h du matin en DVD emprunté au Festival Résistances dans le cadre de la programmation "Zoom géographique sur l'Iran et le monde Perse" du Festival Résistances 2010 qui se déroulera du vendredi 9 au samedi 17 juillet 2010) ! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member After viewing this film (which I enjoyed) with a friend, I asked them what they thought of it and they replied.... very Middle Eastern.... I thought about that for a moment, and in some ways they are correct... many films from this region often project this connecting type of feel to them (for whatever reasons) and so if you know what I mean, and enjoy that type of film, you will probably like this one. This film is one of those types of films that looks rather simple, from the plot, to the ideas portrayed, but in fact (like many others like that) it is the subtleness that leaves you thinking about the many messages a film like this has. While fictional, there are times you feel it is more documentarian style (like when the baby is left for the second time in another taxi and they ask that driver to just go along with it for the movie... giving you the impression he is a real driver living a real situation), and most of how it is filmed is very open air, and non-set style (with passersby constantly staring at what is going on and the choas of everyday driving brought to an even more realistic light.. among other things). I enjoyed that. This is not a film that is trying to be deep, leave you with message after message after message, nor expousing to be important. More so it is a film about the lives, situation, and culture of a place that has been torn apart by war for so many years, and how everyone in that type of situation deals with the day to day of living. We see all of those bigger ideas in the microworld of this child and how its situation effects all those whom come in contact with it over the period of the movie. It offers no answers, suggests no solutions, more it shows you the real (in the world of these people), fictional or not, and for me (at least) that is what I enjoy in my film viewing experience.
