In TEN, celebrated Iranian writer-director Abbas Kiarostami (Taste of Cherry, Through the Olive Trees) once again casts his masterful cinematic gaze upon the modern sociopolitical landscape of his homeland -- this time as seen through the eyes of one woman as she drives through the streets of Tehran over a period of several days. Her journey is comprised of ten conversations with various female passengers -- including her sister, a hitchhiking prostitute and a jilted bride -- as well as her imperious young son. As Kiarostami's "dashboard cam" eavesdrops on these lively, yet heart-wrenching road trips, a complex portrait of distaff Iran comes sharply into focus. -- © Zeitgeist Films [More]

Abbas Kiarostami has created, for all of its filmic simplicity – static camera, minimalist settings and obviously from the hip filmmaking (you can watch as the curious drive by the lady’s car and rubberneck) – has created a nicely complex character study

Who would have thought a movie centered on a driver and her passengers that never leaves the car could be so compellingly watchable? Ten is not only a fascinating character study, but a portrait of an entire way of life.

A little more reach would have allowed Ten to turn it up to 11.

Whatever the film lacks in physical lyricism, it makes up for with a claustrophobic flair that leads you to conclude that Ten can be the loneliest number.

A very interesting film, despite structural limitations that keep it from approaching greatness.
