Leave your thoughts about The Iran Job.
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...an amusing cultural fish out of water look at how a big, likable, outgoing Black American basketball player fits into life in Shiraz in southwestern Iran. Then it becomes something more around the halfway mark... |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonThe Iran Job locates an absorbing, cross-cultural universality with surprising ease. |
| Arts FuseBetsy ShermanThe Iran Job is an engrossing documentary that cannily integrates basketball and a look at Iranian street life in the months leading up to and including the Green Movement protests. |
| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyOne of those documentaries that is sad and hopeful in equal measure and exceptional in its storytelling. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThe sports drama gives The Iran Job a strong hook, while the cultural context enriches the movie's real story, which is less about Sheppard's life in Iran than about the people he meets. |
| The New York TimesDavid DeWittThis observant documentary avoids pedagogy; it's not always artful, but it has a relaxed, light touch that never topples into pretension. |
| Film School RejectsKate ErblandAs an entry into the Iranian world, Schauder and Nodjoumi made a wise choice with sports, but they made an even better choice with Sheppard. |

| Boston GlobeMark FeeneyA lively, engaging documentary directed by the German filmmaker Till Schauder ... |
| Village VoiceMichael NordineAlthough it presents itself as merely the story of a professional basketball player named Kevin Sheppard, who, never quite making it to the NBA, has spent his career playing in lesser leagues overseas, The Iran Job ends up being quite a bit more: an underdog sports story, a fish-out-of-water tale, and an outsider's perspective on Iran's almost-revolution of early 2009. |
