Plot Summary
Based on a true story and filmed entirely in Afghanistan, Black Tulip is a frightening and inspiring film about the immeasurable value of freedom and the tenacity of culture and tradition, where there is always a price. The Mansouri family opens a restaurant where artists and poets are welcome to express themselves on a small stage. This newfound hope proves to be fleeting as lingering factions of the Taliban threaten to silence them.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Newlyweds are slaughtered, a child kidnapped and a suicide bombing foiled, all of it advanced by chunks of clumsy dialogue and embarrassingly labored acting.
Rotten: A well-intentioned drama that would play much better if it didn't feel the need to make that message quite so heavy-handedly obvious.
Rotten: Well-meaning but unconvincing drama looks for optimism in Afghanistan.
Rotten: There are good intentions here, but too little nuance ...
