    • Jon Espino

      The film keeps everything light, and doesnt dare to fully immerse us in the true darkness we know exists. ( Read More )
    • David Parkinson

      There is so little political depth and dramatic tension in the leaden script that the subversive aspect of Ritchie and Pintos platonic partnership is almost negligible. ( Read More )
    • David Noh

      Quite bold in its depiction of Iranian repression and sometimes visually striking, unfortunately the script by Jon Croker is a thin assemblage of cliches, with characterizations that are uniformly skin deep. ( Read More )
    • Wendy Ide

      Loosely based on the life of Iranian dancer Afshin Ghaffarian, this flat footed drama about the transformative power of art is crippled by earnestness and clunky allegory. ( Read More )
