Movie Reviews

Time Out - 10/10 by Keith UhlichThe journey is often challenging, but the rewards—heady, emotional, provocative and invigorating—are endless.
Film Comment Magazine - 9/10 by Jonathan RomneyThe value of Closed Curtain is the very ineloquence of its cri de coeur. Where its predecessor defiantly showed that Panahi could take it, here the stresses show: they're tearing him apart, and it shouldn't happen to any artist.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Michael AtkinsonPossibly the Iranian new wave's last meta-man, Panahi is in an ideal position to make the unique methodology of his filmmaking merge with its substance. But he's always been fascinated by how a film's bell-jar bubble can be punctured, leaving a viscous interface between real and cinematic.
Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Jesse CataldoThe next step in Jafar Panahi's personal cinema of captivity, a fully fictionalized, wildly bewildering work which imagines a man at war with his own creative impulse.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Peter KeoughThe opening and closing scenes of this film evoke those in “Crimson Gold.” They are long shots of the outside as seen through a security gate. In “Crimson Gold,” the view is of a chaotic street in Tehran. Here, it is the empty sea. This difference demonstrates what Panahi has been deprived of, and what the world has lost because of it.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Inkoo KangClosed Curtain is richly allegorical, but the film succeeds even more as an exiled artist's reassurance that the law can't stamp out art.
Film-Forward.com - 8/10 by Nora Lee MandelRepression in Iran emphatically intrudes on imagination, as real life of . . . Panahi. . .The ocean keeps serving as constant ironic contrast to a restricted space and life.
New York Times - 8/10 by A.O. ScottOn one level, the film (or nonfilm; it was shot on digital video and partly with smartphone cameras) is a mischievous, Pirandellian entertainment. It is also an allegory, dark but not despairing, of the creative spirit under political pressure, and of the ways the imagination can be both a refuge and a place of confinement.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Godfrey CheshireIf the dominant mood of "This Is Not a Film" was defiant, the main feeling here is melancholic. In implicitly confessing to suicidal impulses (as his mentor Abbas Kiarostami did in "Taste of Cherry"), Panahi shows how low his confinement has brought him.
Gay City News - 8/10 by Steve EricksonThe ending of "Closed Curtain" has a disappointing lack of focus. Still, the initial mood of the film is indelible.
