    A powerful insight into anguished human emotions operating at the basest level. Little dialogue, but not much was necessary to convey the beauty of this gem.

    Glacial pacing, exotic, sad and poor. Window into a strange and foreign land.

    At times Shahriar succumbs to self-conscious poeticism, and her male characters are invariably thieves and oppressors, but the film draws a good deal of power from the passive anguish of the girl.

    Never quite finds the rhythm of a great film, and it scores no points for subtlety by including a subplot about a horse breaking free of its master, but Shahriar displays a real gift for conveying Taghani's plight in all its grimness.

    A plea for attention to despicable conditions of female servitude in contempo Iran.
