The connections [Kiarostami] makes between his cinema and Italian neo-realism will interest scholars, students and fledgling directors.
Variety
Feb 24, 2005
Rating: 6/10 -- His approach to filmmaking is highly individualistic, though much of his individual style is an adaptation to the constraints of making films in Iran.

Rating: 1.5/5 -- A tediously didactic, often condescendingly reductive 10-part lesson on cinema.
New York Times
Feb 24, 2005
Less illuminating than pedantic, as well as tediously self-absorbed.
Village Voice

Product Description:

The American Dream proves to be more like a nightmare for two brothers from Mexico in the lighthearted comedy AMERICAN 101. As they arrive in Tucson after a torturous road trip, the boys soon find that life as an immigrant in modern-day America isn't much fun at all.
