Critic Reviews

V.A. Musetto

Censors in Iran must have been smoking weed when they approved I'm Taraneh, 15, a sympathetic portrait of an unwed mother. Read full review

R. Emmet Sweeney

Can nobly stand behind its more celebrated forebears. Read full review

Frank Scheck

A surprisingly frank effort that demonstrates that the country's censors may be loosening their reins. This well-acted portrait of a young single mother displays a universality that should translate well to the art house circuit. Read full review

Deborah Young

An appealing film thanks to its irresistible teenage heroine, I, Taraneh, Am Fifteen delivers the message that there's a new generation of strong-minded femmes out there who aren't afraid of bucking social norms. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Sadr-Ameli's unflagging empathy and Alidousti's confident performance keep us rooting for this young heroine, who refuses to accept the limits forced upon her by both society and the law. Read full review

Lawrence Van Gelder

Neither approves of nor condemns the choices made by its headstrong protagonist; rather, it quietly observes her transformation from naïve schoolgirl to wary but proud single mother. Read full review

Ted Shen

Saved from bathos by Taraneh Alidosti's performance as the virtuous, wide-eyed girl. Read full review
