      Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 19, 2002 Full Review Marty Mapes Movie Habit Iranian director Tamineh Milani was arrested and faced execution for making The Hidden Half Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 2, 2002 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid It's clear that director Milani is more concerned with the emotion of the story than with its politics, which is as it should be. But the emotion often aims too high and resonates too loudly and too forced, like a 1950s Rock Hudson melodrama. Jan 18, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member An interesting story and strong performances make this film fairly enjoyable, despite it's extreme ridiculousness at some points. This melodramatic music just seems to follow one of the main characters around, and I couldn't help but laugh every time it happened. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Makes one realize how we tend to jump to conclusions and judge people based on what we hear about them, without even giving them the chance to say their side - a fundamental flaw in most societies. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member We make our conclusions based on what we see but there are the halves which we do not see. In this fillm hidden halves are revealed but not all. One may think of "the blind men and the elephant". Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member (***): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] This film has some good acting and its a good example of the struggles of women in Iran. I didn't expect it be as good as it was but the story is compelling. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
