Critic Reviews for I Am Nasrine

All Critics (9) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (3)

It is affectionate, humane, tender and, ultimately, optimistic.

Deborah Ross
The Spectator
It's by turns clunkily contrived then wondrously natural (if raw) - let's hope Gharavi, like her heroine, progresses towards greater fulfillment.

Anna Smith
Metro (UK)
Worthwhile ideas, but lax execution lets it down.

Trevor Johnston
Time Out
As a coming-of-age tale it allows for hope as well as despair and has a particularly fine performance from Micsha Sadeghi as the indomitable Nasrine.

Derek Malcolm
London Evening Standard
A valuable debut, shot with a fluent kind of poetry.

Peter Bradshaw
Guardian
Right-on in its messaging - the story of a police-harassed Iranian girl fleeing her country after unjust arrest and assault - it is as dull as slogan paint in execution.

Nigel Andrews
Financial Times
Gharavi finds an element of poetry in the wide-open spaces of the North East countryside through which Nasrine passes in her journey of self-discovery.

Tom Dawson
The List
A tender and touching Iranian drama by Tina Gharavi that's fully engaging throughout thanks to an impressive script, strong score and a terrific central performance from rising star, Micsha Sadeghi.

Jennifer Tate
ViewLondon
It's a sad, highly schematic movie, with far too much incidental music, and it's often awkward.
