Mohsen Ramezani, who portrays the lead character of Mohammad, is phenomenal in this film.He inhabits his character with a graceful charm and strength of character that really showcase's who he is and not that he is blind.The use of vibrant color and heightened sound help's to show the contrasts of his relation to the world compared to those who can see.

Stunning film. One of the most gorgeous films I've seen.

There is great beauty in its touching relationships, pastoral settings, and narrative simplicity. Except for a few parts there are a bit mawkish, I was really in love with this movie. And then there's the last fifteen minutes, where Majidi smacks you over the head with the kind of grandiose dramatic moments that he had been so skillfully avoiding. It was more than satisfying enough as a religious fable without these large gestures. However, the rest of it is so grand that I still recommend it.

wonderful & sad

Brilliant

A good story with some great acting. It's shot really well. The river scene at the end is pretty cool too.

Shamelessly manipulative and excrutiatingly dull

Pretty nice for this sort of thing. I could have done without the slow-mo.

A beautifully photographed and carefully directed piece of deep melancholic hope.

Gorgeous imagery, maudlin story.

The river seen is pretty sweet. It's interesting what countries without the stupidity of PETA or CGI can accomplish. I generally liked the story until the God shit at the end.
