Movie Reviews

Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by Sean AxmakerDirector Mohammad Rasoulof has fashioned the ultimate metaphor for a society adrift from its culture.
Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) - 8/10 by Brian GibsonConflicts, contrasts and apparent paradoxes lap away under the surface, beautifully shot by cinematographer Reza Jallali . . . Iron Island has an eerie, elemental beauty.
Variety - 8/10 by Deborah YoungA galloping fable full of offbeat characters and entertaining moments.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by Rex RobertsThis resonant fable proves again that art flourishes in unlikely places, under the most restrictive conditions.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzVisually pleasing in its mythic images, and it's heartfelt narrative is both stirring and poetic.
New York Times - 8/10 by Dave KehrLess consumed by behavioral details than many of his filmmaking compatriots, Mr. Rasoulof makes bold use of symbolic imagery - a satellite television is confiscated and tossed overboard - suggesting that utopias inevitably come at the price of isolation and authoritarianism.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Ed GonzalezRasoulof's vision of people in a perpetual state of migration acknowledges the struggle of minorities left to their own devices and their self-devouring instinct in times of crisis.
Boxoffice Magazine - 7/10 by Sheri LindenWriter-director Mohammad Rasoulof's feel for his characters' plight, his eye for telling detail and his warm touches of humor infuse this crisply told tale with an eloquent vigor.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kenneth TuranThis is not a typical Iranian production. Simultaneously deeply allegorical and concretely physical, this striking film is not a typical production, period.
Chicago Tribune - 7/10 by Michael WilmingtonDramatically engrossing and visually enthralling.
