Drama When a young girl becomes lost in the hustle and bustle of Tehran, her journey turns into a dazzling exercise on the nature of film itself.

	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"The movie has the feel of a documentary made with a hidden camera (...) 'The Mirror' poses the deepest questions about illusion, reality and filmmaking. Its portrait of Teheran is unforgettable."	POS
United States	Derek Elley Variety	"The final scenes (...) especially drag (...) Panahi’s weakness is still on the scripting side (...) As a sheer technical tour de force the film rates highly"	NEU
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"As daring a technical exercise in its own way as 'Memento', 'The Mirror' similarly transcends gimmickry. Khani makes for an entertainingly petulant heroine"	POS
