The director, Jafar Panahi, plays himself as an affable amateur cabbie in Tehran. Funny, defiant, with a quiet but profound political outrage. His push against Iranian censorship has received rave reviews across the globe, and won the 2015 Golden Bear Award.
★★★★★ “Panahi’s joy ride….Again thumbing his nose at the regime that has banned him, the courageous Iranian director makes his latest film in a taxi rigged with three hidden cameras.” – The Guardian
★★★★★ “A brilliantly humane testament to the fact that, in the twenty-first century, cinema is truly everywhere, and Jafar Panahi is still in the driver’s seat.” – TimeOut London
“It’s reflective and revealing, intimate and wide-ranging, compact and moving.” – New York Times Critic Pick
★★★★★ 96% rating, Rotten Tomatoes
