Truly magnificent.Full Review

Phil Hall
Film Threat

Poignant though it is, the movie is the opposite of depressing. There is too much life in it.Full Review

The New York Times

Haroun is deft at handling the joys and pain of childhood. He neither condescends nor ­­over-sentimentalizes. It is a story of separation anxiety (for Amine) and coming of age (for Tahir) and it's universal.Full Review

Jack Mathews
New York Daily News

Haroun and cinematographer Abraham Haile Biru carefully frame their characters with a painterly elegance that is at times truly startling.Full Review
