Leave your thoughts about Rosewater.
| BBC.comOwen GleibermanOne of the most incisive movies about the post-9/11 world ever made. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigStewart has created an informative, dark and witty story imbued with black humor surrounding Bahari's confinement. |
| Consequence of SoundDominick Suzanne-MayerRosewater is at its best when it's less a pick-and-choose historical artifact than an examination of what time in undeserved solitude does to the human mind. |
| The Public (Buffalo)M. FaustCompetently crafted but seldom more than that, Rosewater shows that Stewart could probably make a living as a filmmaker if he so chose. But for now, I hope he keeps his daily-sorry, his day job. |

| CraveOnlineFred TopelIt's a good story about persevering, and using one of our most powerful tools to do so: humor. |
