Farhadis evne til at dirigere vores sympatier er slet og ret imponerende, stor humanistisk kunst, der får os til at indse, at livet ikke drives frem af en modsætning mellem gemen ondskab og gode viljer, men af mudrede følelser og menneskelige fejl.

...et modent, eftertænksomt og decideret velstøbt drama, som tilmed formår at lave prima suspense og samtidig ude i periferien få kommenteret på livet i det Teheran, der på en og samme gang er frit og dybt kontrolleret.
