Audience Member Good story, but it was way too boring. Not surprised that this movie was banned in Iran. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member strong women learning to respect themselves again in a world that has forgotten them. farsi is such a beautiful language to hear. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member it seems slow to an American viewer, but still very upsetting, interesting and important. Roya Nonahali, who plays Mitra, is very good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member An unforgettable portrayal of women & their children in prison. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best example of neo neo-realism outside Italy and in colour, the acting and the situations were dramatized but the innate reality was very fascinating. I loved this film a lot. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
