04/11/2010 Good story, but it was way too boring. Not surprised that this movie was banned in Iran. See more 01/16/2009 strong women learning to respect themselves again in a world that has forgotten them. farsi is such a beautiful language to hear. See more 01/13/2009 it seems slow to an American viewer, but still very upsetting, interesting and important. Roya Nonahali, who plays Mitra, is very good. See more 05/22/2008 An unforgettable portrayal of women & their children in prison. See more 10/29/2007 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. See more Read all reviews
