Leave your thoughts about This Is Not a Film.
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoIn a medium where we tend to lionize filmmakers for daring to make movies we enjoy, "This is Not a Film" is a true act of courage since it will not be enjoyed by all. |
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiIt may not be what one might normally describe as a "film" but whatever it is that one might call it, "This is Not a Film" is an absolute must-see. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrIn short, This Is Not a Film is the world within an apartment, and it is quietly devastating. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayIt's a cry from the heart of an artist compelled to create, tell stories and respond to hostile, confounding realities. |
| Movie MetropolisChristopher LongI find myself returning again and again to Jafar Panahi's apartment in Tehran, the defining location for the year in cinema, one of the defining locations in all of cinema. |
| About.comJennifer MerinThe complex, brilliant, heartbreaking diary of Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi under house arrest in Tehran, and prohibited from making movies. |
