Time Out says
Baffled by his nihilism, the mindful cabbie determines to find a way to reinspire the old man while trying to maintain his relationship with his wife and stepdaughter. The set-up has the ingredients of a mawkish tale of redemption and hugging but Bahrani delivers something else: an endearing character piece shot through with beauty and humility in which, thanks to his leads’ open, sometimes vulnerable performances, tolerance and respect take precedence. Serious and moving without being solemn or pompous.
