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

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.

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.
