Reception



Ms. (magazine) launched the trailer for the film, with an article that stated "'Nasrin' is an engaging and immersive portrait of a highly misunderstood country, a rare profile of Irans womens rights movement, and a surprisingly personal connection to a woman who has the potential to make history." The 'Hollywood Reporter' review for the film said "Stirring... Eye-opening... Vivid... Extraordinary. This eye-opening chronicle offers a chance to bring (Nasrin's) story beyond the human rights community to an even larger audience." 'The New York Times' included mention of the film in its editorial, "Because of her inspiring struggle to preserve the rule of law in Iran, ordinary people around the world are following the news to hear her fate. A new movie, "Nasrin", about her fight for women's rights in Iran will ensure that she will not be forgotten."
