The new Abbas Kiarostami film is called Ten, and in it something amazing happens: nothing.
100
Iran's greatest filmmaker is fond of stripping personalities bare through conversations they have while riding in cars. Here he pushes his favorite dramatic device to its limit.
90
One of the year's finest movies, it's not quite the masterpiece that some of Kiarostami's cultists want it to be.
90
A work of inspired simplicity.
88
A film made by a master, with a simplicity that is really revolutionary. It's a work capable of changing the ways you look at the movies - and at life.
75
Ten may strain your patience but that's the high-stakes gamble of this provocative project.
50
The already minimalist filmmaker has gone positively threadbare with Ten, a movie that feels as if there was no director on the set. For the most part, there wasn't.

After the first conversation, the relationship between mother and son was well established; the film would have been stronger if the son hadn't shown up as much, especially since every other character was far more fascinating. Touching and intelligible, if not, at times, trying.
