The new Abbas Kiarostami film is called Ten, and in it something amazing happens: nothing. Read full review

Andrew O'Hehir

The ultimate lesson in less-is-more cinema, an intimate and revelatory character study as well as a brilliant, almost symphonic rendering of the distracted, anxious, half-alienated and half-meditative state in which we spend vast amounts of our lives. Read full review

Desson Thomson

Shows us, in an extraordinarily simple way, the hopes and frustrations of one woman's life. Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

The film offers a fascinating glimpse of the Iranian urban middle class, and though it eschews most of the pleasures of composition and landscape found in other Kiarostami films, it's never less than riveting. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

A glimpse into a society that has grown more open, more free, and also more casually selfish in its interpersonal aggression. Read full review

Roger Ebert

The shame is that more accessible Iranian directors are being neglected in the overpraise of Kiarostami. Read full review

After the first conversation, the relationship between mother and son was well established; the film would have been stronger if the son hadn't shown up as much, especially since every other character was far more fascinating. Touching and intelligible, if not, at times, trying.
