Don't waste your rental - Martyr review by SKC
I would say this has to be the most blatant example of sexist objectification in a film. The writer director is clearly in love with the main actor. Surprisingly, for a film from an Islaminc country, gay film makers there too can include male genitals. Now I know many will rent the film for that purpose alone, each to his own. Sometimes being gay can be embarrasing with the films we offer to the world. For me, watching paint dry would be a better use of my time.
