Scott R @ScottR Jul 3 SNS22 list. Not much happened, but it did have some moments of beauty capturing what it is to be a child and when you’re trying to communicate something important, but it doesn’t always come across that wa. Saw on box. See more 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.

Found it very hard to track down but found a copy to buy online. Watched on DVD. See more Read all reviews
