A love story, two different beliefs, a family in the turmoil of Iran’s modern history.

Phuong Le

Guardian

While the audio re-enactment of Tayi and Hossein's conversations are occasionally overly narrativised, this is a beautifully crafted work of family history with an especially powerful ending.

Rated: 3/5

With a confident and fresh sense of filmmaking alongside a story that overall does connect well enough, this is an easy recommendation.

By focusing her story so intently on the personal cost of generational upheaval, cultural as well as political, she helps make today's Iran a place that anyone ... can understand.

Rated: 4/4

[The film] invokes a series of wider sociopolitical issues within its shifting style, to both its benefit and its detriment.
