Stewart seems to be declaring on every frame of Rosewater, but his knack for dealing with dry subject matter in all kinds of hilarious ways would have worked wonders. It's almost cruel how he turns the film into such a humorless bore.

[A] gripping drama, smartly calibrated for Western audiences who still need an education in the bright, progressive, fight-back impulses in Iranian culture. -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 6/10 --
The overriding message of the film is the need for free press--a somewhat academic end to a very human experience. That, combined with the obvious lack of suspense, make for an interesting, if lukewarm, film.

Stewart keeps the drama intimate, focusing on the interaction between Bahari and his interrogator....Bernal gives a powerful performance...

Rating: B+ --
[Jon] Stewart has made a confident entree onto the directing scene that demands to be noticed.

Rating: 4/5 --
Stewart has created a humane black tragicomedy that reminded me of Tom Stoppard's anti-Soviet satire Every Good Boy Deserves Favour.

3.5 stars out of 4 -- ROSEWATER is an engrossing account of political oppression and the power of human endurance told boldly, briskly and earnestly.

Product Description:
Jon Stewart makes his directorial debut with ROSEWATER, a drama based on a memoir by the Iranian journalist Maziar Bahari. As the film opens, Bahari returns to his home country in order to report on the 2009 presidential elections there. When the results lead to large public protests, Bahari (Gael García Bernal) videotapes the civil unrest. This brings him to the attention of authorities, who apprehend him and keep him in solitary confinement in hopes of getting him to confess to crimes against Iran. However, his international celebrity leads to help from powerful and unexpected places. ROSEWATER screened at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
