Well acted. Good script. Great cast.

I remember following the trials and tribulations of Saddam's daughters during their defection and after. Another interesting episode that was not touched on in this film concerns Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash, AKA Chemical Sally. She was the only woman appointed to the Revolutionary Command Council and appeared in TV footage with Saddam during the most recent US invasion - most likely to signal the regimes intent to use chemical weapons. Her rise to power would be interesting enough but for the fact that it was widely known in Iraq that Saddam murdered her father in 1981. He had been deputy prime minister. If only the walls could talk.

Alot of the history was missing, but i think that it is good. it was presented as a portral of one of saddams daughters and her acounts and that is what it was. i liked it

Once there was a very ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everybody died. The End

You thought this was an example of good acting?

Seriously, is this a joke? The whole thing was clunky and badly told. Was Uday supposed to be annoyingly moronic, or an actual person?

The narration and story source was that of the opinionated members of Saddam's family. And such familial bias was so blatant that it rendered the whole experience trite and false.

That aside, the acting cannot possibly be praised with much sense. Whatever sparse qualities "Saddam's Tribe" has, to call the acting in it anything near good is just plain ludicrous...
