What are critics saying?

New York Post by Jonathan Foreman

Some wonderful films have come out of Iran in the past few years, but A Moment of Innocence, by highly regarded director Mohsen Makhmalbaf, is too smug and too self-indulgent to count as one of them.

Chicago Reader by Jonathan Rosenbaum

A fascinating humanist experiment and investigation in its own right, full of warmth and humor as well as mystery.

TV Guide Magazine by Ken Fox

A fascinating fictional documentary.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

Finds the impassioned Makhmalbaf in a more contemplative, even whimsical, mood than usual.

Village Voice by Leslie Camhi

A meditation-brilliant, humorous, and moving-on history and memory.

Mr. Showbiz by Michael Atkinson

Normal ideas of truth, illusion, and representation are sent into the meat grinder, and the result is consistently disarming and beautiful.

San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle

Muddled and endless.
