Based on a true story, this movie offers a peek into the ghastly and depressing world of women (and men) living in Afghanistan. The suffering of women is shown without getting too gory or vulgar. The discerning viewer will certainly be able to connect through the visual cues left open to interpretation.
Manisha Koirala is superb, so are some of the cast. The Taleban cast could have been much better.
The realistic, non-mushy ending keeps the plot and the storyline credible. It will be very interesting to find out what happened of the characters in real life. Maybe a sequel is in order.
This should have been a contender for the awards.
