Review of Rosewater (2014) by Steve C — 09 Jul 2015
Well-made, but didn't add up to much for me. Stewart has a strong debut - if not a little too in love with some technological flourishes to liven things up - but the story isn't all that interesting.
Turns out Iran detains people falsely and tortures them. Who knew? A more interesting story would have been to more fully explore the Green Revolution and the everyday Iranians Bahari covered which got him detained in the first place.
That is a story more Americans need to see and I found interesting. But once he's detained, less so I thought.
