Leave your thoughts about Chicken with Plums.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA grand, romantic life story about love, loss, regret and the sadness that can be evoked by a violin - not only through music, but through the instrument itself. It is all melancholy and loss, and delightfully comedic, with enough but not too much magic realism. The story as it stands could be the scenario for an opera. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonSuffused with longing and whimsy, Chicken with Plum's tone can get a little stretched; it can be a touch twee, even cautious. But mostly this adaptation retains a sad dreaminess and a melancholy comic-ness without ever getting cartoonish. |
| CinemalogueTodd Jorgenson... uneven blend of whimsy and surrealism that's visually compelling but narratively flat. |
| honeycuttshollywood.comKirk HoneycuttMixing an international cast in an amusing and imaginary Tehran, the directors evoke a past of the memory - of iconic characters and emotions writ large. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittIt's one of the year's unique and most entertaining movies. |
| Film-Forward.comKent TurnerThe visual equivalent of an intoxicant. One beautiful setting or image hazily dissolves into another, producing an enthralling kaleidoscope... |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)It's one of the year's unique and most entertaining movies. |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlThis dreamy, visually inventive Iranian drama functions on so many levels of reality and obsession that it almost ceases to entertain. |
| ScreenCrushJordan HoffmanA film that's so clever, whimsical and creative in execution it'll take you a minute to realize it's about a husband and father of two who slowly commits suicide. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordThe simplicity of animation and story in ["Persepolis"] is put aside for the far more complex and layered "Chicken with Plums," |
