The Wright Opinion

From Cinematical:

“In her Telluride review of the film, Cinematical’s Kim Voynar had this to say: “Marjane’s story could have been told in a live-action dramatic narrative film, or a documentary, but the choice to stick with this highly stylized animation approach works very well, and has the effect of removing a layer of ethnicity, thereby making the story more universal. This isn’t the story of an Iranian girl, it’s the story of a girl who lived through eight years of war and societal changes, who happens to be Iranian.” Apart from also screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, Persepolis was chosen as the closing night film for this year’s New York Film Festival. The film arrives in theaters on Christmas Day.”
