CineVue - Ed Frankl
At 82 minutes, this is a brisk but hugely powerful work that is cinema of the oppressed par excellence.

Variety - Scott Foundas
A film of quiet but profound outrage, laughing on the surface, but howling in anger just beneath.

Screen International - Dan Fainaru
This is a delightful surprise, and though it is even more minimalistic than his last two illegal exports, This Is Not A film and Closed Curtains, it is also more mature, and better calibrated and - at the risk of annoying art house patrons who often hate this term - more entertaining than the other two.

Slant Magazine - Jake Cole
Jafar Panahi spotlights the act of filmmaking as an act of resistance as well as a possible source of propaganda and manipulation.

The Hollywood Reporter - Deborah Young
Amazingly, Panahi turns the utterly simple, economical format of a camera inside a car into something relevant to his own artistic state and full of eye-opening insights into Iranian society.
