Summary: Based on a real lie
Comment: A very boring story about a seemingly very vengeful woman. We all make mistakes in life, and try to learn from it. But Betty Mahmoody is making money out of it by making up a story in which she portrayes herself as the victim. I watched this woman complaining on the Dr. Phil show recently, still sobbing and feeling sorry for herself and at the same time promoting her book and trying to squeeze the last couple of bucks out of her story.
Thanks to the Finish documentary `Without my daughter' which shows us what really happened we now know that this book is just one big lie.
Maybe they don't show you these documentaries in the US, I'm sure your government would like you to believe that all women are suppressed in countries like Iran.
Do not buy this DVD, don't buy the book or VHS. Dishonesty should not be rewarded.

Summary: Excellent Movie
Comment: This is a wonderful and truthful movie for all to see. Many Americans fall prey to these men from other countries and have children and they do the same exact thing. Lure you to their country and keep you captive there.
This is a real "eye opener" for all Americans!
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Fight Between Right And Wrong
Comment: Something like this movie (I suggest reading the book first)comes to prove that certain subjects transcend time and place... But not right and wrong.
Thank you to all contributors and good luck to Betty and her daughter !
An absolute MUST SEE movie

Editorial Reviews:

The Arab anti-defamation leagues understandably had a field day with this one. Sally Field plays Betty Mahmoody, an American who marries an Iranian (Alfred Molina) and has a child. They go back to Iran for a visit and, to her horror, he tells her he's decided to stay there. If she wants to leave, she must leave her daughter behind. If she stays, Betty must live in a culture vastly different and, she believes, very dangerous. Part thriller, part culture clash, the film certainly takes advantage of Americans' perceptions of Iran after the unrest of the '70s and early '80s. Molina is truly despicable as the husband, while Field projects a lot of overheated anguish as Betty tries to figure out a way to escape the country with her daughter. Overheated, in fact, is the word for the whole melodrama. --Marshall Fine
