Deeply saddening. Let me reiterate, however, that the regime portrayed in this picture is the complete opposite of the true teachings of Islam.

This is certainly the first movie I've seen of Afghanistan. Interesting story and scenery though of course very cruel. Makes me appreciate my own, quite priviledged in comparison, life in West.

Disturbing and visually striking.
From the strange breaking of the fourth wall in the beginning to the last bits of visual metaphor, this film is disturbing and great.
The script is almost poetic at times, and the drama is superb. It has a certain radiant truth, albeit depressing.. -

The magnificent use of hues of blues, the composition and music makes this story of women's courage a cinematic masterpiece

real good movie, i like the fact that despite the wanting of governing of men over women and the need for food, does not let women surrrender into the man's world, even though it is real tough

Gutwrenching, hauntingly powerful, and quite possibly one of the saddest films I have ever seen. Not something you'll soon forget.

Shows a side of the Afganistan conflict in personal terms and shows what the Taliban really was, a terrible scorge on the earth.

Pretty horrific portrayal of what people have been going through. Well made and shocking, if somewhat depressing.

This movie is kind of hard to watch, but it really shows you the fear that these people lived in when the Taliban were controlling them, and the fear that they still kind of do live in since the traces of the Taliban still are around.

In Afghanistan, during the Taliban regime, women are forbidden to work and to walk on the streets without the company of a male. The teenager girl Osama (Marina Golbahari) cuts her hair and dresses like a boy to get a job and support her widow mother and grandmother.

The United States government helped the Taliban regime to power. Does the movie tell us about it? No. And still it shows volunteers from the U.S.A. helping the oppressed people in Afghanistan (working in Soviet hospitals). If you intend to make a film about political oppression, give us the damn facts, and make a point - you cannot overlook the cause of this regime.
