Critic Reviews

Deborah Young

Though its subject has curiosity value, its critical view of religious institutions is compromised by an ending that evidently was necessary for the film to be made and released at all. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Overly preachy and maudlin but is saved by its obvious sincerity and forthright sense of purpose, and further enhanced by its rich color cinematography. Read full review

David Chute

A flat, middlebrow variation on some of the central themes of recent Iranian cinema. Read full review
