    As soon as it ended I immediately felt I could watch an additional 105 minutes.

    I will always advocate for the validity of children’s feelings and actions because there are fewer expressions of existence more pure.

    Kiarostami allows the subtlest tics of humanity to shine through, foregrounding imperfect personhood and simply allowing it to exist without judgement. He just makes me fall in love with everybody.

    I don't know that 15 minutes allowed for the nuance the subject's story or the base argument necessitates.

    Allowing the narrative to exist as it currently does (only clear (ish) to those privy (again, ish) to that specific political climate) ultimately felt like a teaser for what ought to be a much longer work, if the subject matter is to be fully flushed out to the extent of its potential. As it exists now, I fear an uninformed audience will walk away writing Reda off completely.
