Save for a few turns that subject the characters to surprisingly harsh disillusionment, there's little in "Sun Children" that doesn't feel predetermined.

New York Times
Rating: A- --
Legendary filmmaker Majid Majidi's latest, Sun Children, is a tidal wave of compassion and empathy that crests into rage and sorrow.

AV Club
SUN CHILDREN is more polished than the director’s early work, and yet, a certain scrappiness remains, shot largely on location, with a mix of experienced but unmannered adults and nonprofessional child actors.
Variety
[A] tidal wave of compassion and empathy that crests into rage and sorrow—all of it provoked by the plight of Iran’s child laborers.
A.V. Club
Rating: 3/5 --
While Sun Children's roots derive from The Goonies, there's no pirate ship of gold to save the parents at the end of the tunnel. Maijidi's film begins dire, and ends dire, a plea for his audience to see the world for the dark place it is.

Austin Chronicle
Majid Majidi has been making sensitive and trenchant films about kids in Iran for three decades and he's still doing it in Sun Children (Khorshid), a shrewdly observed humanistic drama.

Deadline Hollywood Daily
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Majidi's latest is another chapter in his plaintive chronicles about the plight of the mostly young and unhoused people from his homeland. Again, he shows us a world viewed through their eyes, and what results is unforgettably sad.

Product Description:
In the inner-city slums, 12-year-old Ali (Roohollah Zamani) and his three friends perform odd jobs for the nearby garage and commit minor crimes for the local gang as each boys' family depends on what meager income the boys can earn to survive. Yet, in an unexpected reversal of fortune, Ali is hand-selected to embark on a treasure hunt deep beneath the city streets. Ali and his group must then enroll at the city's charity school for disadvantaged youth to get closer to the treasure. Written and directed by Majid Majidi; co-starring Ali Nassirian and Javad Ezati.
