Compelling and utterly fascinating, but be warned: This is a rough-edged film that constantly shoves the viewer's face into the fact that it is a film.

That it remains difficult to classify Kiarostami solely as either a great director or a great journalist at the film’s end only enhances the film’s power.

Successfully blends fact with fiction to produce a work more compelling than any of today's infotainment programs.

Top Critic Kiarostami's film has artichoke-like layers which, once peeled, are forever resonant.

Kiarostami has made a film that looks into the heart of a man accused of a crime and, instead of evil, discovers only sweetness, longing and a sad confusion.

Abbas Kiarostami's brilliantly perceptive film is based on a true story, but is done in mock-documentary style.
