A beautifull and extraordinary film
By a customer from Potatoborough , 15 Nov 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
If you fancy a complete change to the usual dross that's churned out from Hollywood, then you can't go far wrong with this film.
Produced and filmed in Iran by producer Majid Majidi this film will leave you questioning the usual media stereotype.
A carefull and delicate insight into the world of Mohammed a blind schoolboy. A boy who can read in braille the secrets that nature has to hold.
Note: The children in this film are not actors but under the producers guidance, they perform flawlessly.
Full of natural colour and richness it's easy to understand why this film has won so many international film awards.
Take your time in watching it film as it is a bit slow but very rewarding.- Was this review helpful to you?

See it again
By a customer , 18 Sep 2011Aside from the film's ability to let me see the world from the point of view of a blind person (and in a visual medium). . . what is really challenging in this film is the elegant dissection of emotional pain among the main characters. This is a morality tale of some punch, but all along, it is telling you not to make quick moral judgements -- that comprehending and understanding may point in different directions. I will never forget some of the images in the film. I've seen it twice now . . . and the second time left me with different images than the first time . . . and I will want to see it again and, then, again . . . after some space of time.- Was this review helpful to you?

Simply Perfection.
By Mrcleeds (49 reviews) from Leeds , 29 Aug 2011This film has stunned me. I was riveted from the beginning to the tragic end. Never before has a film moved me as much as this. I sobbed like a child throughout this most exquisite piece of cinematic genius. In fact I am shocked at my reaction to something so stunning as this amazing piece of work. The young lad who played Mohammad gave a spellbinding performance. What a gem he is. What a gem this film is. Treasure it.- Was this review helpful to you?

Terrible movie quality
By JuiceOfLife (27 reviews) , 19 Jul 2011I couldn't watch this film so my rating is only based on my unhappiness with the quality of it.
The movie moves up and down constantly, as if it has been made from TV with a handheld camera.
I don't mind when the quality of a movie is grainy or old but this movie isn't even old. This is a real shame because i was really looking forward to it.- Was this review helpful to you?

Good story telling
By Whaleshark (7 reviews) from Camberley , 07 Dec 2010It is a very good film and well act, especially the little boy. He made you feel his vulnerability and want to protect him.- Was this review helpful to you?
