The Lovers & the Despot is a powerful and well-made documentary about the rise and fall of the Ayatollah Khomeini. It is a story about the human cost of the 1979 Iranian revolution and the many people who died in the process. The film is a powerful and moving portrayal of the dark side of the Iranian Revolution. The film is a must see for anyone interested in the Iranian Revolution or history in general. The film is well worth watching and is a must see for anyone who wants to understand the Iranian Revolution.

A film that has a lot of flaws, but it's really good. I didn't like the ending though, it was rushed and I didn't like it. It's like it wanted to end too quickly. This is why I'm rating it a 7. It's really good. This is one of those films that can really go in many different directions, and that's what makes it good. It's a good film, but there are parts that it could have been better, but it's good. I enjoyed this film, and I think it's a good one to watch.

I was surprised to see so many negative reviews. The film was very informative, well produced and had many unexpected twists. I was very surprised to see the critics who seemed to be calling it "scary" or "tacky". It was more like a documentary than a horror movie. I felt the film had a very realistic and objective look at the Chinese government's policies. The film made me question why people in the US are so interested in Chinese politics. I thought the movie was very well made and informative, I recommend it to anyone who wants to see a good documentary about Chinese politics. I will definitely be watching this movie again.

This is one of the most interesting documentaries I have ever seen. I have been a fan of Tom Cruise since the days of 'Top Gun', and I was really looking forward to seeing this film. But the great news is that it was even better than I thought. The film is full of great interviews with some of the most interesting people in the world, and it is truly amazing. I have never seen a documentary that I would say has made me question my own belief system. The film was definitely more emotional than I was expecting, and it made me realize that I am not alone in my beliefs. It was so much more than just a documentary. I will be purchasing the DVD soon. It was great to see the reactions of the people who were involved with this project. I hope to see more documentaries like this. The documentary was definitely worth the price of admission. The film was so well done and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has any interest in politics, religion, and the news.

There is a lot of information in this documentary about the Japanese Occupation of Japan and how it affected the lives of the Japanese people. It is a very fascinating story about the people who were there, the people who survived, and the people who tried to escape. It is very informative and really shows how many people were affected by this occupation. I think that this documentary is very important to learn about the events that happened in Japan during WWII. It is very interesting to learn that some people escaped from the Japanese Occupation and they tried to survive and live normal lives. It is also interesting to see how people who were Japanese were treated by the Japanese. I think that this documentary should be seen by everyone.

This documentary is a masterpiece, the story of a corrupt regime and the story of a man who was caught and jailed for a crime he didn't commit. He was then exiled, then after being released, he was given a chance to work for the regime and his family. It's a fascinating story that I would recommend to anyone who wants to see a documentary that is very well made and thought provoking.

I was extremely surprised at the very positive response to this film. I didn't think it would be as strong as it was, and I was right. I thought it was a powerful film, with a great performance by the two leads. I think the real surprise is that it was not a commercial film. It has the right mix of strong subjects and great performances. I hope to see more films like this, and I hope that the public will take notice and support these filmmakers. This is a great film and I hope you will see it as well.

At the end of the film, we are presented with a scene of the former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad giving a speech in front of a crowd of people in the heart of Tehran. It is a short speech but extremely powerful. This is the sort of speech that the Western world is supposed to be embarrassed to be giving. The Iranian people were very moved by this speech, and were happy to have a leader speak in their defense. In the end, this is the last speech the Iranian people will ever hear from a Western leader. I feel this is one of the most powerful speeches given in history, and I cannot help but feel that the Western world has gone insane over the last decade. I am sure that there will be a great deal of disappointment at this film, but I think it is an excellent film nonetheless. It has an excellent soundtrack, a wonderful narration from the director, and a great sense of drama. I feel it is a film that should be seen by everyone. It is a wonderful piece of work that should be seen by everyone.

The film was filmed in the US, but the editing is extremely sloppy. A lot of scenes are left on the cutting room floor. It's like a 20 minute video tape with half of the tape cut out. I'm sure it's supposed to be an academic piece of work, but the film itself is not worth seeing. The main problem is that the film is very bad. The interviews are very boring and at times seem like they are edited for the sake of cutting. The film is littered with factual errors. I am not sure if the film was made by the same person or not. The film is about the L.A. riot of 1968, but the footage is from the following year. There is no evidence that the riots started in 1968. The film does not show the people that were shot, which is supposed to be the most important part of the film. The film seems like it was made for a college project and the editing was sloppy. It's hard to tell who is who in this film. It's all very strange and I would have preferred a documentary film, but it's still a very interesting film. If you want to see a film about the riots, watch The Riot. I think that film is much better. I don't recommend this film at all.

What is wrong with people? Why are they so ignorant? This is a great movie and very informative. If you have any interest in politics and economics then you should watch it. The subject is very important and should be discussed. We are living in a corrupt society and politicians are corrupt as well. We are witnessing a situation of massive destruction of wealth and people. The state has destroyed the family and the village. The family is destroyed and it is a part of the state. The village is destroyed. It is a fact that the state has been destroying wealth and the population is being ruined. This movie shows a great work of art.

I had no idea what to expect from this documentary, and I was surprised. It is essentially a compilation of interviews with many people involved in the Saudi Arabian government's handling of the 9/11 attacks. It does a good job of getting to the point, although some of the footage is hard to follow at times. It is a great story that has been well told. However, there is a lot of speculation as to the motive for the attacks. The most important thing to note is that the Saudis did not seem to have a single motive. They blamed Al-Qaeda, but they were quick to blame everything but themselves. The Saudi government, at least the King, said they had to blame the hijackers for the attacks. But they did not seem to have a specific motive. For example, the King of Saudi Arabia said, "What are we going to do about it?" This is not surprising given that the King is an individual that is more concerned with the oil economy of the country than he is with terrorism. The only reason the King is mentioned is because he was the one that was able to give the orders for the attacks. Also, the King was the one that was able to convince the Saudi government to participate in the war. This would have been an interesting story if the King had been able to provide the funds, but as it stands, he is not. The reason the King was not mentioned in the film is that he was not there for the attacks. This is probably the most interesting part of the film. There are some interesting things to take away from this film, but I think it is a great story and should be told.

I first saw this documentary on HBO and had to watch it again. This film was made in 2007, and it is just as relevant today as it was then. I thought that it was very well made and informative. The interviewees were great, and it was interesting to hear from some of the same people that are interviewed today. I think that the best part of the film was the fact that it didn't just focus on the women and their stories, but also the men, who were affected by the women's actions. I think that the film did a very good job of showing that these women were just as bad as the men, and that they were just as immoral. Overall, I really liked this film. It was informative and entertaining, and I think that it is definitely worth watching.

The film is a very interesting and well-written documentary that tells the story of the horrific events of the early 1980s in Iran. The film is an excellent look at the way that the US government handled the situation in Iran, and what the people of Iran were actually forced to endure. The film was very well-done and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the subject of the film.

This documentary is a must see. The movie was about the worst thing I have ever seen. I am a big fan of the real John Q. and all the people involved in this movie are very bad people. This movie is very misleading and there is no point in watching it. This movie is a total waste of time and money. I am very disappointed and I hope that no one ever does it again. I will never be able to watch this movie again. I think it is a complete waste of time and I do not recommend this movie to anyone.
