A reviewer at Rotten Tomatoes writes:
A pure, realistic drama without any exaggeration in which cultural differences, religion, beliefs, romances, relationship difficulties, troubles and relieving or happy moments are portrayed naturally and uniquely. … It’s unbelievably moving. It portrays love without those cinematic romantic moments; heartbreak without a close shot of tears; troubles of religion without shots of rituals.
