Jennifer H @ItalianMamaof3 Jan 25 This movie was slow and stressful. It made you want to jump in and help the children but in a much more efficient way.

See more Iris Z @IrisYutingZeng Oct 26 The pace of the film leans toward a gentle fluency without losing the poetic quality characteristic of Kiarostami’s work. Viewers with experience in documentary filmmaking will find this film profoundly beautiful and non-condescending. The child’s voice and needs are largely misunderstood and dismissed by the adults, yet the story reveals the quiet beauty of childhood—how, in a child’s world, nothing feels more urgent or significant than trying to save a friend from being expelled from school. See more Tim M @tgmacman Sep 30 Simple in concept but rich in thematic meaning on children navigating an adult world, writer-director Abbas Kiarostami will have receptive viewers ardently asking Where Is the Friend's House? See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 Aug 10 It’s definitely art house. Basically nothing happens. At all. It has merit in showing us what mid 80s rural Iran was like but the tedium is excoriating. Found it very hard to track down but found a copy to buy online. Watched on DVD. See more Will G @Wgoodeve 06/13/2025 A great art film. It was about a school in Iran. It was interesting to see the Middle East and learn about their customs. The acting was good. I hope there is peace between our country and theirs. See more Read all reviews
