no more or less credible

This documentary is a plodding presentation that intends to tell the "side" of Sayed Bozorg Mahmoody who I had previously known as the villain in "Not Without My Daughter". The cameras follow this villain through Iran and Finland, documenting his efforts at contacting his only child Mahtob. By the finish of it I know him as an old man beaten down by time and circumstances. He is a father whose heart is breaking, with a wish to see his child and reconcile with her before he dies, and maybe, just maybe, get in the last word.

In the end this movie is no more or no less credible than "Not Without My Daughter" and it leaves so many questions unanswered. There are always 2 sides to every story I suppose, and it is worth seeing simply for that purpose, to see the other side.
