    The character of Hussein was brilliantly played, one of the most moving and true portrayals of inner agony I've ever seen. Much of the time he is lost in a state of shock at the cruelty of existence, the spoiler. His avoidance of life and disconnection speak to me as loudly as a trumpet. 7 years 2 months ago

    I thought it to be quite moving, and very painful in fact. The thought of the main character as unlikable never even entered my mind... I found his reality and state of mind immensely sad. Reading on IMDb that the actor is a pizza delivery guy in real life, as well as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, made it all the more poignant.

    Written by the late Kiarostami, Panahi delivers a modern tragedy about a poor man struggling with the chasm between wealth and poverty, and it fills me with the urge to watch his other acclaimed films I haven't seen yet. Especially The Circle and The White Balloon
