Leave your thoughts about Children of Heaven.
| EmpireKim NewmanThe City Of Lost Children is as great a film as you thought "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" was when you were five years old. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThough Majidi draws from familiar Iranian sources, he's made something unique and moving: a sweet tale with a stirring finish. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChildren of Heaven is very nearly a perfect movie for children, and of course that means adults will like it, too. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawThis is a pellucid and gentle film, made with the simplicity and grace of a children's tale and yet its humour, emotional clarity and directness speak directly to adults and children alike - and the pre-teen principals shoulder an adult burden of performance. |
| The A.V. ClubJoshua KleinMajidi masterfully balances the serious subtext with entertaining vignettes. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenChildren of Heaven is a simple film – it has bold, childlike colors and a narrative that turns on unremarkable, everyday events – yet Majidi and his young actors invest it with such basic truth about the inner lives of children that the movie feels as big as the universe. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenThe poverty that is at the heart of the situation is in prominent relief, yet there is a happiness about their lives that defies sheer gloss. Here is a brother and sister who truly love each other and are bonded by their complicity. |
| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorOne problem leads to another, but because the children's points of view are so powerfully rendered, the plot of this elegant and lightly magical-realist 1997 drama never seems merely coincidental. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackHaunting in its charm, Children of Heaven opens a window on both contemporary Tehran and the hopeful heart of childhood. This lovely, amusing film deserves a big audience -- especially families. It touches on the innocence of children with tremendous affection. |
| Austin ChronicleJoey O'BryanI am not one of you. But I have enough of you in me to pass along the word. Far out. |
