The film takes a distinctly American approach to Iranian matters of gender relations and religious extremism, shedding little light on subjects that are far more complicated than Schauder makes them out to be. Mar 28, 2013 | Full Review…

I confess to being a sucker for sports movies, the ones with the "Big Game" at the end. "The Iran Job" has all the requisite elements of that cinematic subgenre, but strives for something deeper. Mar 28, 2013 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

This observant documentary avoids pedagogy; it's not always artful, but it has a relaxed, light touch that never topples into pretension. Oct 11, 2012 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The sports drama gives The Iran Job a strong hook, while the cultural context enriches the movie's real story, which is less about Sheppard's life in Iran than about the people he meets. Oct 11, 2012 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

The Iran Job is an engrossing documentary that cannily integrates basketball and a look at Iranian street life in the months leading up to and including the Green Movement protests. Aug 8, 2017 | Full Review…

A film that despite its modest means tells a stirring tale about sports and politics. Starring Kevin Sheppard, a completely winning personality and basketball player. Mar 4, 2014 | Full Review…

An honest and open portrait of work, friendships and relationships in a troubled and lively nation blessed with a vibrant culture and cursed with an oppressive religious regime. Feb 14, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

As an entry into the Iranian world, Schauder and Nodjoumi made a wise choice with sports, but they made an even better choice with Sheppard. Jan 22, 2013 | Rating: B | Full Review…

This lively documentary breaks no new ground cinematically, yet its mix of discovery and befuddlement should bring more than sports fans to a basketball story. Jan 22, 2013 | Full Review…
