Our take

Returning to the classroom after First Graders, Abbas Kiarostami interviews schoolboys, and just wait until you hear what tumbles from their mouths. Underneath a simple—and simply devastating—premise, Kiarostami unearths a maelstrom of suffering, indicating something rotten in the state of Iran.
