I am an Iranian Woman and I live in Iran.I've read the reviews and messages and i think an actual Iranian Woman view will be useful for everyone.first of all this film dose not exaggerate at all.this is the real situation of women in my country.life is a closed circle without any escape for all the women here even for those few lucky ones who are from high and middle class society.it is a complex situation made by law,religion,culture and traditions. our society honestly is a lot like Orwel's 1984 dictatorship.you cant have an identity without having a man in your life .father,brother,husband.you can change it but you cant get rid of it otherwise you are without question guilty! Panahi did a great job showing the truth.with our country laws and limitations you should be very creative and smart to do such a thing. there is another think that some have misunderstood ,the grandma in the beginning of the film is sad and desperate for hes daughters future not because of the child being a girl.
