	Author	Review
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Charming Iranian cinema at its purest. Defiantly modern in its liberating message about freedom of choice (...) The three main characters are all vividly sketched"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"The movie opens with a tantalizing premise (...) It maintains the unique blend of introspection and intrigue that defines this singular director’s talent"	POS
United States	Jessica Kiang Variety	"[It is] less punchily playful than 'Taxi', but more moving and ultimately more valuable (...) The film amounts to a heartfelt statement of solidarity"	POS
United States	Steve Pond The Wrap	"It’s modest but profound, leisurely but urgent (...) With 'Three Faces', [Panahi] once again makes the audience feel alive"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A lovely, ineffably moving meditation (...) The empathy [Panahi] feels for these subjugated women is palpable as well as personal."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A purposefully oblique – if always enjoyable – meditation on acting, reportage and political unrest (...) A minor, but still rewarding Panahi film (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"[It] is filled with unexpected turns (...) The result is an immersive, pleasurably intelligent movie, one that weds documentary naturalism and melodramatic excess with formalist rigor."	POS
United States	Barbara Scharres rogerebert.com	"Iranian director Jafar Panahi (...) delivers"	POS
