Writer and director Tahmineh Milani presents a feminist message which is unusually strong for an Iranian film -- so much so that it took seven years for the screenplay to be passed by state censors.

Audience Reviews for Two Women (Do Zan)

This film is a look into the life of a "traditional" Iranian woman and her relationship with family, friends, and her husband. It is very depressing. The weight of tradition can be felt.

(*** 1/2): From the director of The Hidden Half, comes a extremely well-made film with great acting, story and some surprisingly thrilling moments. Easily one of the better Iranian films out there.
