Movie Reviews

Film Threat - 8/10 by Merle BertrandGleaming like a well-polished magic lamp on a vibrant Persian rug, The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam showcases Arabian/Muslim culture at its best and brightest.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Jonathan CurielRough around the edges, it's still a formidable movie.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by Eric MonderA lovely-looking, capably made motion picture.
Supercala.com - 7/10 by John VenableFor those who know of Omar Khayyam, make the trip to the theater to see this one. If you're just curious, wait for the DVD.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kevin CrustThere is nothing extraordinary about the filmmaking, but Mashayekh's old-fashioned commitment to his and co-writer Belle Avery's story creates an overall satisfying experience.
Houston Chronicle - 7/10 by Eric HarrisonAn accomplished first film that manages to comment on the current situation in the Middle East while dealing movingly -- and in very human terms -- with the importance of heritage and history in contemporary life.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanThe time-traveling is a little awkward, and a mawkish turn of events feels forced and unnecessary.
Boston Globe - 6/10 by Ty BurrA vanity film refreshingly lacking in vanity.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Desson ThomsonThe script's a plodder, and the acting's unbearably stilted. The movie's intentions are like the starry constellations that inspire the eponymous hero: out of reach.
L.A. Weekly - 5/10 by Scott FoundasThough the story hardly lacks for event as it traces Khayyam's ascension from the peasantry to the royal court, the period costumes and sets look to be on loan from Medieval Times, as do most of the actors, and the boxy, harshly lit compositions make everything feel even more cardboard.
