  • "Filmed entirely inside a ladies washroom in a public park in Tehran, this film is a remarkable vérité look at the hidden lives of Iranian women. In the ladies, the women feel comfortable enough to smoke cigarettes, discuss taboo subjects, and remove their veils. They are also free to acknowledge that some of them are runaways, drug addicts, or prostitutes--all classes of persons that do not officially exist in Iran. Iranian actress Mahnaz Afzali engages these women in a series of revealing conversations, which shatter many Western preconceptions of how Iranian women lead their lives."
  • "Varios tipos de mujeres, incluyendo a prostitutas, son entrevistadas, relatando como buscan el refugio en un servicio de mujeres al lado de un parque en Teherán."
  • "Filmed in a woman's restroom located in a public park in Iran's metropolitan center of Tehran, this documentary explodes Western stereotyping of women in Iran. The elder who runs the washroom offers a shoulder to cry on or tough love in a place where women, many of them especially marginalized because they are prostitutes, addicts or runaways, feel safe enough to remove their veils, and draw on cigarettes and their opinions on a wide range of subjects that men cannot hear them speaking about: sex, family abuse, relationships, drugs, religion and self-mutilation. The director (and admired actress) supplies the audience with an unflinching, detailed examination of the lives of the women who use the restroom as a gathering place. Mary Kerr, Programming Director of Silverdocs, highly praises the way private conversations establish community: "Never before have I been so surprised by a film's candor and honesty. The Ladies' Room is an amazing testament to Mahnaz Afzali's restraint as a filmmaker as she steps into the background and lets these women, who are second-class citizens in Iran, be themselves - totally unrestrained and surprisingly progressive." Awards/Festivals: Amsterdam International Documentary Film Festival 2003; Thessaloniki Documentary Festival 2004; Vienna International Film Festival 2004; Adelaide Film Festival 2005."
