Lawrence Van Gelder New York Times Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 13, 2001 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Two Women deals in the details of daily life in post-revolutionary Iran: In the unspoken ways that a woman's duties, her clothing, her behavior, who she speaks to, what she says, all express her servitude in a male-dominated society. Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 13, 2001 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Aug 3, 2005 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's an incredible story about the unimaginable suffering of one woman... Rated: B- Jan 27, 2003 Full Review Marty Mapes Movie Habit With The Hidden Half, is worth watching because of the political stir and the quality of the storytelling in both films Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 2, 2002 Full Review Arthur Lazere culturevulture.net The whiney, argumentative tone between Fereshteh and her father, then with her husband... becomes tiresome and erodes sympathy Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A little too melodramatic and repetitive for my tastes, but Two Women has some interesting things to say about the roles of women in Iran and the power structure. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is a look into the life of a "traditional" Iranian woman and her relationship with family, friends, and her husband. It is very depressing. The weight of tradition can be felt. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member i really like it!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member If you know anything about domestic violence related issues, there is nothing new in this movie. However the time being and the place made this movie worth seeing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A sad yet eye-opening story. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Very informative. Very depressing! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
