Reviews for At Five in the Afternoon
An already powerful story could've had more impact had the characters been developed further.
Despite the deprivations suffered by its subjects, At Five in the Afternoon is distinguished by the elegance and eloquence of its images.
This lushly photographed movie stands as a testament to dreams and determination on both sides of the camera and everywhere in the world.
A feature that sifts through the rubble of global politics and finds this: a teaspoon of hope mixed with buckets of despair.
Makhmalbaf wants to reflect what's happening in Afghanistan today. To that end this is a timely piece. Whether or not it remains as such as the years go by will only be known as history rolls itself out.
24 year old Samira Makhmalbaf is changing the way we see the Middle East.
An unsettling and uneven work in which we must make do with a few sequences that hit the bull's-eye and many more that can't even locate a target.
