Around the Web
The film clicks to me especially with its universality of theme depicting father-son relationship, emotional bonding in distress which reminds it viewer that world is so large yet so small if you pick the right emotion. A movie made with 100% Heart & Soul. Must 4 all meaningful cinema lovers.
Hiren Dave on The Film Sufi The themes, style and idiosyncrasies that were to mesmerize the world in the years following Children of Heaven clearly show their roots in Pedar (1996) (aka Father).
From The Seventh Art This statement captures Majidi's style: its child-like directness sidesteps naivety to achieve singular emotional clarity.
