      Wendy Ide Screen International A striking, bleakly beautiful account of living in a war zone, which captures a specific and traumatic moment in Iranian history while obliquely acknowledging the present-day dissent against the current regime. Feb 17, 2023 Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety Part of what makes it engaging, and a lot of what makes it exciting, is that “The Siren” doesn’t ring quite true. Feb 17, 2023 Full Review Olivia Popp Cineuropa Although the animation style holds back the feature from reaching its true heights, Farsi’s first animated effort is a stirring attempt that admirably tackles the human dimension of one of the longest international wars in contemporary global history.
