Maryam Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Lael Loewenstein
A lovely, intricate coming-of-age portrait set in a cross-cultural context, "Maryam" reps a promising debut from Ramin Serry.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
Smarter in its message than its execution, this is still a thought-provoking rental.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
High on melodrama. But it's emotionally engrossing, too, thanks to strong, credible performances from the whole cast.
Chicago Tribune
A searing reminder of the relevance of recent history and of the timeless power of fiction to humanize people and crystallize sweeping events into personal drama.
San Diego Union-Tribune
David Elliott
It's a very sincere work, but it would be better as a diary or documentary.
L.A. Weekly
Ernest Hardy
A quietly moving look back at what it was to be Iranian-American in 1979.
San Francisco Chronicle
Jonathan Curiel
It is enthralling and evocative, despite some flaws.
Chicago Tribune
Loren King
Uncannily in tune with contemporary global events.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Maryam is more timely now than ever.
Dallas Morning News
Tom Maurstad
Not only a coming-of-age story and cautionary parable, but also a perfectly rendered period piece.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Carefully crafted, notably in its deft dramatic structuring, and has become timely in a way its maker could never have anticipated.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
This movie may not have the highest production values you've ever seen, but it's the work of an artist, one whose view of America, history and the awkwardness of human life is generous and deep.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Serry does a fine job of capturing the climate of the times and, perhaps unwittingly, relating it to what is happening in America in 2002. But hard-to-believe plot twists force the movie off track in its final half hour.
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
[Serry] wants to blend politics and drama, an admirable ambition. It's too bad that the helping hand he uses to stir his ingredients is also a heavy one.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
It's a very valuable film...
Village Voice
Leslie Camhi
Serry perfectly captures the peculiar climate, creating uncanny echoes with today's situation.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Most impressive, though, is the film's open-ended finale that refuses to entirely close its characters' emotional wounds.
