Write an ordered list of reviews about "song of sparrows".
1. The story, spiked with gentle humor, moves smoothly through the standard tropes of Iranian art house cinema.
2. While the film incorporates a touch of neo-realism, Iranian director Majid Majidi isn't aiming for miserablism; his beautifully austere morality tale is more a sun-parched version of a different well-known story.
3. A parable of corruption, catastrophe and eventual redemption. Mr. Majidi's tale wasn't meant to be timely, of course, but the shoe fits, and the film wears it well.
4. The film is pleasingly meandering, till the more typically Majidian soulful and teary-eyed climax.
5. a greatly satisfying parable of happenstance
6. If you can look past the almost silent-era sermonizing of The Song of Sparrows, you can see something else at work here, and deeper things on view.
7. [Director] Majidi is a master director of tear-jerkers, and he proves true to form with Sparrows.
8. As unabashedly sentimental as The Song of Sparrows often becomes, this simple fable of a righteous man's relationship to his family, his community and most of all his faith has the force of conviction.
9. Another gem about spiritual renewal by the great and sensitive Iranian director Majid Majidi.
10. Majid Majidi's lyrical, gently comic The Song of Sparrows grounds its low-key humor in the realities of poor, semi-rural Iranian life.
