Review of Rosewater

Rosewater (2014)
7/10
Powerful, Current
16 July 2015
Iranian-Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari is detained by Iranian forces who brutally interrogate him under suspicion that he is a spy.

In a sense, this is sort of the companion piece to Ben Affleck's "Argo". Another story involving Canadians and Iranians, only this time in the 2010s rather than around 1980. And we see that in some ways, things never change.

More films on Iran need to be made, just as more films need to be made in Iran. No country is more misunderstood by Americans, I would bet. While the government may be draconian at times, the people are good, loving people. We must not blame a people for their government.
