Meloney 4d Enjoyed this movie very much. Gave insight into women’s experiences in another culture and another time. See more Simon Jul 30 A stereotypical portrayal of an evil Iranian regime against the freedom of the West. Fails to discuss some of the interesting questions that it is almost too fearful to raise. Are the heroines children lost to her when she moves to the US, for example? What does a book like Lolita say about the West? Some of the books used for chapter titles in the movie have little relevance to what else is going on. If you want a shallow exposure to how oppressive Iran is to women and what a savior the West is then this may be for you. If you are looking for something more thoughtful try Toy Story. See more John T @JohnTesnohlidek Jul 27 Terrific adaptation of Azar Nafisi’s extraordinary book. See more Cy Jul 15 Fuck everyone associated with this trash. See more Moody C @MoodyC Jul 14 A brisk walk into Iran’s past when women were allowed to wear & read whatever they want before revolution. Unfortunately, author’s personal story not so much compelling as her country’s history but Farahani is as compelling as she is beautiful so she will keep you watching.
