A pleasant, bittersweet drama tracing the misadventures of an Afghan girl who arrived in the US somewhat by chance. The style and narrative are simple but direct. The choice of pronounced black and white and the soundtrack are very welcome and apt. Babak Jalali proves once again that he is a fine independent filmmaker with a film that is low-budget but has an excellent impact.

I liked it. A movie primarily about loneliness. It's not the most exciting movie ever, but it's not trying to be. An interesting, almost surreal glimpse into the life of someone trying to find her place and come to terms with the decisions she made in the past. I liked the artistry of it. The long, hanging shots and at times awkward delivery made this fun to watch, and provided time to think back on the characters' interactions, reflecting the protagonist's own experience as she struggles to make connections and overcome her loneliness.

watching paint dry is boring but its necessary step in the process
