Review of Rosewater (2014) by Dylan D — 24 Feb 2015
Rosewater, first-time Writer/Director Jon Stewart's story of a 2009 Iran hostage saga, is a fairly strong, though occasionally uneven, picture. It's nowhere near as dark nor powerful as some might assume a movie of this nature to be or should be, but it manages the core narrative well enough, thanks largely to a quality lead performance from Gael García Bernal.
It will be interesting to follow Stewart's career as he (presumably) makes the transition to film from television hosting duties. Rosewater is a fine start and all signs point to greater growth as Stewart hopefully continues along this career path.
