Offers viewers here an intimate glimpse of the everyday realities behind the headlines.

Top CriticIt is a sublime, carefully assembled movie.
03/01/02
Deceptively simple, ultimately heart-breaking drama.
03/01/02
This film's painful story is one to which people from all corners of the globe can relate or at least understand.
02/20/02
A film that gives you the illusion of eavesdropping on life as it's actually lived, on people as they actually behave.

01/06/02
A melancholic mediation on the constant and often elusive yearning for companionship and love, it also speaks volumes about the barbarity of cultural and religious intolerance.
12/17/01
It is a minor effort, satisfying only on its own limited terms.
12/09/01
One of the better examples of the minimalist cinema popular with Iranian filmmakers

Hassan Yektapanah's Djomeh, from his own screenplay, continues Iranian cinema's deceptively simple yet exquisitely conducted explorations of the Iranian psyche in the context of a workaday reality.

Top CriticDjomeh (New Yorker) is not among the best of the Iranian imports -- its thematic compass is smaller--but it certainly shares some of the attributes of the best: patience and a belief that every human face is important.
09/26/01
Top CriticAgonizingly slow-moving and talky, it consists primarily of conversations between two men in a truck.
09/07/01
Top CriticPerhaps the strangest and most rewarding romance you'll see all year.
09/07/01
This gentle and somewhat slow moving romantic fable has a quiet sweetness all its own.
09/06/01
Has a keen sense of the pace of everyday life.
09/06/01
An investigation, at once lucid and enigmatic, of exile, loneliness and the fragile possibility of friendship.
09/06/01
Top Critic[S]hows such a painterly eye for framing and composition that the story is almost superfluous to the glory of its pictures.
09/06/01
Top CriticAmong the most formally accomplished of new Iranian films.
