Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
In 1979, the Iranian Revolution erupted. During this upheaval, the US Embassy and its personnel were seized by militants, while six diplomatic personnel managed to escape and find refuge courtesy of Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor and his staff. Through their words and others' from that time, the events of that crisis are told as Canada found itself in the midst of an international intrigue that defied all conventional understanding. All this culminated in the Canadian government devising a way with CIA assistance to smuggle the fugitives out in an operation that would provide some hope during a dark time in American history.
Leave your thoughts about Our Man in Tehran.
| Christianity TodayKenneth R. MorefieldTaylor, Sheardown, Clark, and MacDonald all speak of their actions as though they were neither particularly heroic nor exceptional. They simply asked, "What's the right thing to do?" |
| Toronto StarBruce DeMaraThrough it all, Weinstein, the veteran, and Drew Taylor, making his directorial debut, weave an intelligent, complex and tension-filled story that breathes life into historical events that are fast fading from our collective memory. |
| Montreal GazetteBill BrownsteinThis story [of Ken Taylor] is painstakingly recounted in Our Man in Tehran, the compelling Canadian documentary. |
| National PostVanessa FarquharsonWeinstein and Taylor keep things traditional when it comes to the [documentary] format, which lets viewers feel as though they're simply gathering 'round the fireplace for story time. |
| Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada)Michael D. ReidA nostalgic and refreshingly balanced tapestry of commentary and archival footage, this fascinating flashback also tells the real story of how big a role Canada played in hiding and extracting six U.S. Embassy officials during the Iran hostage crisis |
| HeraldNet (Everett, WA)Robert HortonThe story's a good one (already familiar if you saw Argo), and it's interesting to see the real-life versions of characters portrayed by Ben Affleck, etc. |
| Globe and MailSimon HouptSometimes, the truth can be more entertaining than fiction. |
| Paste MagazineBrent SimonLuxuriating in the sort of complexity that streamlined films have a difficult time fitting into the confines of a cathartic narrative, Our Man in Tehran is a worthwhile complementary piece to Argo. |
| Epoch TimesJoe BendelTaylor and Weinstein give the audience a detailed understanding of the rituals of diplomacy and the secret inner workings of the intelligence services. |
| Canada.comJay StoneIt's not a film to get the pulse racing; rather, it's designed to get the brain working. |
