“This is one of the very few good films I have watched in a while. This film is criticised for being simple, but Kiarostamiu0026#39;s craft is almost flawless and very realistic. There are times when I questioned the duration of real-time in the film as he opt not to use jump cuts to show the shift in time, but except that minor glitch, this film was highly tense, deep and meaningful at so many levels. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUnlike the superficial Hollywood garbage we get to see everyday, Kiarostamiu0026#39;s films show us real people with real problems. Probably one of the very few directors who can claim to have real class in this present era. I started watching this film after reading an interview with the director. The film did not disappoint me even a little bit. I am ashamed that I did not come across his name before.”
