Peter Travers
It's a mind-blower.
Tom Charity
An exuberant autobiographical film and dark-horse contender for an animated feature Oscar.
Bob Mondello
The film's nuanced view of social issues is complemented by lovely black-and-white animation work that blends Islamic motifs into a sort of Yellow Submarine-ish world.
Dana Stevens
The subtlety of the interplay among the three generations of women is extraordinary.
Peter Howell
Persepolis is a superb film about a young girl's coming of age amidst war, fascism and family tragedy.
Mick LaSalle
It's striking how much emotion Satrapi is able to convey through these blocky drawings, which are simple but powerfully chosen.

A delightful, curious film that indulges in both the personal and the political and provides a potted history of modern Iran through one woman's experience.
