Movie Reviews

Film Journal International - 10/10 by Maria GarciaWe find what people are made of, and it isn't always comforting.
TheMovieReport.com - 8/10 by Michael DequinaThe entire film is memorable in its sweet simplicity.
Nick's Flick Picks - 7/10 by Nick DavisA modest and accessible Iranian film, softer than most but still intriguing.
One Guy's Opinion - 7/10 by Frank SwietekVisually stunning and emotionally wrenching...an uncommonly graceful and deeply moving portrayal of the hopes and desolation of childhood.
User Review - 10/10 by Susan MI guess it's one of those films that ultimately makes you a better person in the end. Mohammad is really blind, so none of that fake Hollywood stuff; yet puts up a performance that eclipses most professional actors. The fact that alot of Iranian directors use non professional actor is not because of budget reasons, but because they want to close the boundary between reality and the "smoke and mirror" part of film. They really want you to feel for the character. In the end you will see how any human being can change for the better.
User Review - 10/10 by ChrisIf you don't like this movie then you must have no heart!
User Review - 10/10 by Aliya DYou may find it difficult to rent a quiet, deceptively simple film about a few months in the life of a blind boy, but overcome your resistance and treat yourself to one of the finest films from 2000. This is one of the most beautiful looking films you'll ever see. The cinematography is simply spectacular. The story deeply moving and unforgettable. And yes you'll most likely have to read subtitles (though not that many) unless you speak Farsi. The film comes close to Spielberg-ian heartstring pulling manipulation, it's also powerful, uncompromising and a film that gets all of its details exactly right. Towards the end, the story descends into scripted tragedy and a contrived, action-packed climax (unusual for a cinema known for its restraint), and the emotional tenor turns sentimental and cloying, but Majidi turns it all around with an astounding, heartbreakingly powerful final image. If there is one thing many Iranian films have in common, it's an unerring sense of how to end a film. This is one of the most affecting ever: beautiful, moving, simple, a glowing moment that crystallizes the entire movie.
User Review - 10/10 by Vinson CThe same director of "The children of heaven", it's just touch your deepest soul and think again for what you had in your life..is BLESSED!
User Review - 10/10 by David CThis one is a 5 plus film... So beautiful...a great fable!
