Reviews for this film from our members:
- David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: As nice as it is to see our lead character develop a proudly autonomous personality while unburdening herself of all the hardships of real women in that place, the process is all too artificial, ultimately doing a disservice to those whose lives it attempts to reflect.
- [New – 11/28] | Samuel Castro @ Ochoymedio.info [Spanish]
- Excerpt: La historia de una mujer que comienza a desahogarse refleja la situación de todo un género en ciertas culturas
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: If Rahimi begins his film in a room so bare it resembles a cell, he ends it in the selfsame one like something out of ‘Arabian Nights,’ his oppressed wife rendered Sheherazade.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Profoundly disturbing depiction of the grim realities about the oppression women endure under the Taliban regime.
- Jamie S. Rich @ Oregon Live
- Excerpt: Left alone with the husband she barely knows, the woman begins to work through her frustration by telling him the things about herself he never bothered to ask. It’s a cathartic confession, bridging the distance between them and intensifying her devotion to a man she sees as a monster.
