This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The Stoning of Soraya M is based on a true story where a husband (Ali) wants to get rid of his wife (Soraya) so he could go marry somebody else, so they plot to kill her by throwing stones at her until she dies. The stoning scene is certainly not for the faint of heart, it really disturbed and upset me. I hate the fact that women in the middle east are still being treated like this! And they always go on about how they're doing this for god, god wouldn't have wanted any of this! God wants peace and love. Please watch this movie, it is a must see before you die! Also when you finish watching this, tell your friends about this movie and they'll recommend it to their friends as well! This is a story that deserves to be heard.

Islam completely exposed in this tragic film. They talk about peace while their brutality and violence surpassed even the worst tyrants!! Every Muslim who says Islam is a religion of peace should sit down and watch this movie. Although I'm certain that after watching they'll say, "this is not Islam. They abused it. Islam is peace." Yes, stoning an innocent, caring, lovely woman to death is peace. Beating them however you want is peace. Treating them like slaves is peace. There will come a day when everyone will understand that Islam is vulnerable to Humanity. I pray that no woman would ever have to face the brutality of the misogynistic, terrorist religion called Islam.

almost the worst movie I've seen in ages! not talking about the poor atmosphere and poor acting which are ridiculously trying to show black/white characters,but also this movie lacks reason. as a lawyer who has master degree in criminal law,I should say real stoning has almost no similarity with what we see in this movie.of course I'm against this humiliating punishment,but it doesn't mean I approve all of the lies in this movie about Islamic rules. just as a little example,in the movie it's said Soraya should bring 4 witnesses in order to prove her innocence!blah blah!in Iran like any other place I know,it's to the complainant (and in criminal cases the court also) to prove somebody's guiltiness. just an advice to the director:just research before making a movie about a subject.that's what every professional director does.refer to article 63 to 97 of the Islamic punishment code of Iran.it's even available online! the weakness points of this movie are almost uncountable!did you notice all of the men are bad?you can't at least find one good man there.on the other hand Soraya is flawless in this ugly world and Zahra(Shohreh Aghdashloo who has played her weakest role ever) is the brave woman who's trying to help her.what's the point of all of these feminism? I almost forgot to say:in some scenes I couldn't stop laughing when I heard Soraya speaking Persian with English accent about the very obvious goals of the movie which were supposed to impress the audience!

To think that people can justify stoning a woman to death, especially in this day and age, leaves one with a heavy heart. But this is from a side of the world when some cut a boy's penis for religious reasons, others mutilate young girls clitoris's and other throw acid at woman or burn them.All of these are subjects that could disgust and audience and give rise to high credit for having brought them to public attention.So this movie undoubtedly gets high praise for the subject matter.But IMDb is a movie rating site. As a movie I felt that this had many shortcomings. It was too long. The story lost impact as it dragged on an on. The actresses, especially the elder one of the leads, seemed to come from the Bette Davis school of over-acting. As someone else put it - in the manner of day-time soap operas. After watching the superb "A Separation" I was hoping to experience another slice of Iranian life. I notice at the end of the movie it said that it was made on location in the Middle East. Iran is not in the middle east, though this particular incident was based on occurrences reported of an Iranian village and some of those involved in the making the movie have Iranian heritage.Will we ever live in a world where such atrocities no longer occur? As John Lennon said - Imagine.
