PodBill Just what I expected

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

SnoopyStyle The Taliban is ruthlessly ruling Afghanistan and repressive especially for women who are demonstrating for work. Osama, her mother and her grandmother are without a male in their family. The hospital is closing and the mother is without work. Doctors and nurses are arrested. She doesn't get any of the pay she's owed. The only option left is to disguise Osama as a boy.This is an unforgiving portrait of life under the Taliban. It is probably as close as any modern thinking person wish to be. It is a place without hope. It's the gritty realism of Afghanistan that makes this so compelling. It is an unrelenting film about oppression.

Armand image of survive. slices of fight and hope and dark society. a remarkable film for its cruel message. for the acting. for script who presents, in a honest, minimalist manner a contemporary tragedy. Osama is a manifesto for its force to remember not a part from Afgan realities but for the humanist speech about rules and courage, about limits and need to transform its in tools of a new life. touching and powerful, realistic and out of usual stereotypes, a travel, adventure and testimony, it is a special film , fresco of a world who, for many of us, remains only fiction or story for an ambiguous land. more important than artistic value - and this is admirable - is the role of beginning of a new society. the hope who has as mark this movie. Obama is a reflection subject and perfect occasion to understand the sufferance of a country.

runamokprods Fascinating look at the insane plight of women under the Taliban They are not allowed to work, go out alone, even to laugh is dangerous.The film is the story of one 12 year old girl who masquerades as a boy, and gets to briefly experience what free(r) life could be like – at the risk of her life. I wanted to flat out love the film, but some amateurish central performances, and a few self- conscious miss-steps in the direction kept me at more of an emotional distance than I wanted to be, None-the-less, a powerful, politically important film I'd be willing to re-visit.

Veljo Hagu I cannot help but wonder why's this considered a good movie? I also wonder, did Siddiq Barmak at that time even know what a real movie is supposed to be? Let's not get sidetracked into the "true story" aspect, please. Yes, the situation there was outrageous, all those destroyed lives due to religious fanaticism etc. Living in the enlightened Europe during the Internet age, I already knew all this, so while touching, I cannot say the images truly surprised or shocked me.Thus, while waiting for the story to crawl along, I couldn't help but be annoyed by the obvious flaws. Bland plot (to the point of non-existence), no interesting characters (except for Espandi, who at least managed to look alive during his screen time), poor pacing and uninspired scenery - they all point in a single direction. Writer, director and editor Siddiq Barmak just didn't have anything personal to say. And thus stands my question: why waste 80 minutes, if the story could as well be told in five?
