“Like Someone In Love,” the latest film from director Abbas Kiarostami, has had a bumpy path to recognition. When it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last May, it garnered mostly mixed-to-negative reviews. Writing for The Guardian, Peter Bradshaw called it “frustrating” and stated that the film ends right when the drama gets interesting. Variety's Guy Lodge called it a “more austere and less intellectual” twin to Kiarostami’s previous film, “Certified Copy.” So far, so not so good.

No, film as an art form is a visual-aural experience. This idea that you can just frame shots well

Maybe he's referencing to the actual physical representation of the format? or perhaps
Wow, only American critics. How predictable! Insular to the bone, as always.
Whats so ingenious about building the film up with the superb acting of Sir Ben only to pull the rag
What does "one dimensional" filmmaking mean? Photography IS film. And this looks better
