Jonathan Curiel San Francisco Chronicle An engaging film about relationship struggles -- struggles that hurt both people in a couple, even if one of them is oblivious to the pain. Rated: 3/4 Aug 26, 2005 Full Review Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times Although fascinating in its depiction of a surprisingly Westernized slice of contemporary life in Iran, the film awkwardly blends genres, with melodrama overwhelming Milani's attempts at social commentary. Rated: 2/5 Jun 24, 2005 Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter [It] is a passionate inquiry into the heart of a society trapped in a brutal cul-de-sac, like the dreary motel lacking the basic amenities to feed the body, and caught in a fierce crossfire between modern and feudal claims on the soul. May 9, 2020 Full Review Peter Canavese Groucho Reviews A veil of censorship frustrates Milani, but also inspires her to clever means of skull-penetrating overstatement and subliminal understatement. Rated: 3/4 Aug 27, 2005 Full Review F.X. Feeney L.A. Weekly The film does disintegrate into big speeches as it rounds to its climax - but through these characters, Milani hauntingly maps the souls of men and women at odds in a theocracy.
