Film Reviews
"This tiny, alternately simple and complex movie is fascinating on a number of levels."
-Joe Baltake (Sacramento Bee)
"Perplexing and provocative."
-Marjorie Baumgarten (Austin Chronicle)
"In its own quiet way, Makhmalbaf's auspicious feature debut echoes [a] sense of rebellion not only against such sexual discrimination, but also against all forms of inequality and injustice."
-David Parkinson (Empire Magazine)
