Based on a true story and what a story that is!
Sophia Loren stars as the mother in a family of four. One of her two sons are a drug addict -more and more Loren is drawn into a world completely different from what she known. Suddenly she is in the middle of the drug trade in New York. Loren acts beautifully and believable and together with a great supporting cast with actors as Hector Elizondo "Courage" comes out as a very realistic drama. Director Kagan handles the story with respect. As it is a true story it also should be this way, and in the end "Courage" is a great drama about courage, a drama about an ordinary family caught up in a grim reality.
Great acting, great story. Recommended!

Marianne Linner, daughter of police chief Linner, tries to catch a thief in the building where she lives. Mistaken identity, double jeopardy and love are the main parts in this movie. Even though "Bruden kom genom taket" stars great swedish actors like Stig Järrel, Karl-Arne Holmsten, Annalisa Ericson and the superb Gunnar Björnstrand the movie is neither funny nor exciting.
A truly stirring account of a girl and her struggles told through Taraneh Alidoosti.
This rich drama tells us a story of love, humor, joy and despair in a marvelous way. Director Rasul Sadrameli paints a simple yet profound picture of Taraneh and the world around her. The characters are very well acted and Taraneh Alidoosti is truly fantastic. A unpretentiousness imagery puts the focus on the story itself, a drama which is so strong and absorbing that "Man, taraneh, panzdah sal daram" leaves no one left untouched.
A fascinating film!
