NOW PLAYING ON THE CHANNEL | | | In his new virtuosic sleight of hand—completed shortly before his imprisonment in 2022—Jafar Panahi plays a fictionalized version of himself, an Iranian director banned from filmmaking who relocates to a rural border town to make a film remotely in nearby Turkey and finds himself embroiled in a local scandal.
Vulture's Alison Willmore writes: "Over a decade ago, in 2010, Jafar Panahi was sentenced to 6 years in prison and a 20-year ban on directing films. He has, in the time since, directed 5 features; the unfathomable difficulty of this feat is as astonishing as how vital and how good his work continues to be. No Bears may be the best of them all."

—Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

—David Fear, Rolling Stone
"Brilliant . . . Instantly gripping, formally ingenious."
—Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
"Jafar Panahi may be the most vital and courageous filmmaker in the world right now."
—Jake Coyle, Associated Press
