thinking about how good it all was , and started doing nothing but reacting to it - feeling a part of its grand locations , thinking urgently as the protagonists struggled , feeling at the mercy of its inventiveness , gasping at its visual delights

1
for those who pride themselves on sophisticated , discerning taste , this might not seem like the proper cup of tea , however it is almost guaranteed that even the stuffiest cinema goers will laugh their *** off for an hour-and-a-half .
1
bother with a contemptible imitator starring a `` snl '' has-been acting like an 8-year-old channeling roberto benigni

a mawkish self-parody that plays like some weird masterpiece theater sketch with neither

us to see samira makhmalbaf as a very distinctive sensibility , working to develop her own film language with conspicuous success

pretty contagious fun
1
a lovely film ... elegant , witty and beneath a prim exterior unabashedly romantic ... hugely enjoyable in its own right though not really faithful to its source 's complexity .

if it were n't silly
0
once playful and haunting , an in-depth portrait of an iconoclastic artist who was fundamentally unknowable even to his closest friends
