"Osama" is a feminist movie focusing on where feminism is truly needed: the Middle East. This was the first film made in Afghanistan after the falling of the infamous terrorist group, the Taliban, and it focuses on this very subject matter. It is a realistic, tearjerking piece of political cinema that exposes the harsh realities of extremist groups such as the Taliban, who ruin the lives of many, especially women.
The film's plot is about a kind, little girl who is forced to be in disguise as a boy so she can work and gain money for her family. From here, a simplistic and tragic story begins. This is a moving, relentlessly gloomy depiction of humanity at its absolute worst, and it really is a very important and smashingly powerful film that should be witnessed by all.
The only real flaw is that the ending seemed mildly anti climactic. I felt like the film should have ended on a certain shot that felt like a really strong, ending note-but the film then went on for ten more minutes. To avoid spoilers, I will not specify which shot this is, but that's just sort of a nitpick anyway. You should really just see this incredible film!
