Reviews:
"[T]his modern slice of neorealism has been made with a skill, and humanity, that suggests Bahrani may have a BICYCLE THIEF in him yet." -- Grade: B - 09/15/2006 Entertainment Weekly, p.56
"MAN PUSH CART is an exemplary work of independent filmmaking carried out on a shoestring. Mr. Razvi's convincing performance is a muted portrait of desolation bordering on despair." - 09/08/2006 New York Times, p.E12
3 stars out of 5 -- "MAN PUSH CART is a nuanced examination of loneliness and futility....The film is all about detail rather than a progressing plotline." - 10/01/2006 Box Office, p.38
4 stars out of 5 -- "MAN PUSH CART is a spare yet affecting study of loneliness and resilience, zeroing in on the protagonist's gruelling daily routine." - 11/01/2006 Total Film, p.36
"Bahrani shows Manhattan from the other side of the bagel counter....Uncommon in US cinema, this fascination with the quotidian reveals an affinity with the work of the Dardenne brothers." - 10/01/2006 Sight and Sound, p.66
