A young blind man is determined to discover his birth origins, so he travels across rural Lebanon to gather minor clues about his true identity.

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

The performances are careworn and convincing, and the film is never less than compelling.

Rated: 3/5

Guardian

[An] interesting and distinctive if undeveloped feature debut, a kind of road-movie mystery.

Rated: 3/5

Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

Overall, the narrative lacks focus, though a musical number that stretches out over nine minutes provides a cathartic, if slightly clunky, conclusion.

Rated: 2/5

James Marsh

South China Morning Post

The barren yet tranquil countryside conceals the bloodshed that once ravaged it, but Boulghourjian is careful to omit politics or religion from his film as much as possible.

Rated: 3/5

Sunday Times (UK)

If you're no expert on Lebanon, the film's contemplations are all the more educational.

An accomplished first film about the inability of looking at the divisive past in Lebanon. The final musical sequence is beautyfully evident.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
