This moving drama from director Brian Gilbert seems to be more about the recent revolution in Iran rather than the story of a mother desperate to escape her violent husband and get back to the U.S. with her daughter. Both Sally Field and Alfred Molina are in good form as the couple whose lives are turned upside down by the visit to Moody's home country.
"Not Without My Daughter" is at its most effective when portraying the frighteningly fanatical lifestyle of the Iranians. It succeeds in being disturbing, and dramatically holds its own, although it does little more. Also starred Roshan Seth.
