It has romance, drama and adventure. It's a great movie for young teen girls, to help them realize how important picking the right husband can be!!!! Could be scary for younger children.

This is a very good movie. An older movie. Quite a bit of violence and some language. But it is true, and very stirring.

Too scary for young children. Highly recommend for young women contemplating marriage. As I understand it, this was based on a true story. Sally Field does a fine job of acting in the main role. An American woman marries a foreigner and later events lead her to regret it as she ends up in his country where women's rights appear to be non-existant.
I decided to buy this movie because of the situation we are all facing today. I can't say there was anything about this movie that I hated because it was so well done by actress Sally Fields. She put her all into the making of this movie and I must say, I absolutly loved it. Her acting allowed the viewer to feel as though they were right there with her. Also knowing that this movie was based on a true story added much more excitment to the story. I highly recommend it.
THIS IS A RIVETING STORY, ALL THE MORE BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. WHAT BETTY GOES THROUGH TO GET HER DAUGHTER OUT OF IRAN WILL BOTH UPSET YOU AND MAKE YOU CHEER HER COURAGE. IT WILL ALSO MAKE YOU THANK GOD FOR OUR FREEDOM IN THIS COUNTRY. SALLY FIELD IS WONDERFUL AS IS THE REST OF THE CAST. I USUALLY DON'T BUY MOVIES, BUT I SAW THIS YEARS AGO AND COULD NOT FORGET IT AND HAD TO SEE IT AGAIN.
This dramatization of Betty Mahmoody's struggle to escape Iran with her daughter is very worthwhile. The two lead actors are both capable of everything from comedy to intense drama, and the producers spent the money needed to create a realistic Middle East location shoot. It is a heart moving story for an older audience.
I love this movie. It had so much meaning to it and how other countries can be so cruel to American people. It would make me think before I travel in other countries. Get to know how the foreiners treat other people that's not from there on country.....

I never get tired of watching this movie. It is one of my favorites. It is pretty intense but you learn so much about the Muslim religion and what much of what Iran is like. I recommend it to anyone except small children.
I enjoyed watching this movie...I decided to buy it because I had just read the book, which was compelling..Of course, the movie was not nearly as good as the book, as it left out some critical events...However, if you have not read the book, then the movie will be entertaining...
I LOVE THIS MOVIE. WHEN I WAS SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD, I WACHED IN MY CONTRY (BRAZIL). BUT I DID NOT PAY ATTENCION, JUST OF END. IT WAS MY DREAM! I AM VERY HAPPY!!!! THANKS!!!
