James Bradshaw Globe and Mail An undeniably courageous effort to document the inward defiance smouldering in many behind a veneer of submission. Rated: 3/4 Sep 14, 2009 Full Review Andrew L. Urban Urban Cinefile Complex and engaging, My Tehran For Sale is not a simplistic cry or a victim's story; it's a big subject and Granaz Moussavi handles it with grace and sensitivity Nov 13, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A confused portrait of a supposedly dramatic story struggling to evident the suppression of individuality in Iran. Awful story line and acting. Not recommended! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The film confuses documentary and fiction in many scenes and I personally love this technique reflecting the reality of life in Tehran today. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member While the story behind the movie is courageous, that doesn't make the movie itself a great movie. It's an OK movie which offers insights into modern Iran to those of us who have never experienced it - and who, I hope, never experience anything like it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member So intrigued with Iran and its history! Looking forward to see this movie! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a story about an actress living in Tehran, who must keep her artistic expressions hidden from the oppressive controlling regime. Director Granaz Moussavi and her actors put themselves at great risk carrying out unsanctioned filming in public and private spaces in Tehran. An impressive look at life for a young woman living within a repressive regime. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Lack of good acting and the shallow story telling to some extent ruined the experience otherwise it could be a deep sad movie. The director also failed to deliver the message in some of the key scenes. I loved the choice of music and shootings. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
