Observer (UK)

Storywise it’s a slip of a thing, but it gains considerable appeal from its young, non-professional cast.

Rated: 3/5

I liked the free-spirited innocence here, and the film has something of British classics such as Local Hero or Whisky Galore.

Rated: 3/5

Winners may not have Oscar potential itself, but it’s likely to win over audiences and leave them with a smile.

Film Inquiry

It shows how, despite your backgrounds and circumstances, you should never let go of the wonder, joy and escapism that the silver screen can hold and its power to transport us somewhere else.

Edward Porter

Sunday Times (UK)

... The film will be best appreciated by those who recognise its tributes to particular Iranian movies. But there is plenty for all viewers to enjoy in its quiet humour and restrained pathos.

Rated: 4/5
