It is a minor effort, satisfying only on its own limited terms.
12/09/01
Agonizingly slow-moving and talky, it consists primarily of conversations between two men in a truck.

An investigation, at once lucid and enigmatic, of exile, loneliness and the fragile possibility of friendship.
09/06/01
Top CriticHassan 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.
09/28/01
Top CriticHas a keen sense of the pace of everyday life.
09/06/01
It is a sublime, carefully assembled movie.
03/01/02
Chekhov in the Iranian mountains: intriguing!
08/24/01
Among the most formally accomplished of new Iranian films.
09/04/01
Top CriticA 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
Deceptively simple, ultimately heart-breaking drama.
03/01/02
[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 CriticMore realistic and much more enjoyable to watch than something packed full of professional actors (like America's Sweethearts).
08/08/01
Perhaps the strangest and most rewarding romance you'll see all year.
09/07/01
A modest, unpretentious film whose heartfelt humanism shines through.
07/24/01
This gentle and somewhat slow moving romantic fable has a quiet sweetness all its own.
09/06/01
A film that gives you the illusion of eavesdropping on life as it's actually lived, on people as they actually behave.
02/07/02
Top CriticThis film's painful story is one to which people from all corners of the globe can relate or at least understand.
