O ovom filmu

Jon Stewart (The Daily Show) makes his screenwriting and directorial debut in this riveting tale of hope and survival, based on a true story. A Tehran-born journalist based in London, Maziar Bahari (Gael García Bernal) returns to Iran where he covers the 2009 presidential election and its ensuing riots. Falsely accused of espionage, Bahari is arrested and turned over to “Rosewater” (Kim Bodnia), a brutal interrogator who subjects the innocent reporter to months of beatings and torture to force him to confess he's a spy. Based on Bahari's bestselling memoir Then They Came for Me, Rosewater is a visceral political drama the critics are calling “gripping” (Joe McGovern, Entertainment Weekly)!

This guy is a wonderful actor. Jon Stewart, he's okay, not too shabby. Don't quit your day job just in case this movie thing doesn't work out. Cheers.

I really enjoyed this movie. I thought the lead actor was great. The "torture" did seem greatly understated though which was confusing. Still a good movie though.

Without a lot of the typical unnecessary Hollywood gimmicks. The story alone is enough. Great for Stewart's first time out.
