A great movie yes, but hard to watch. Like slowing down to view a horrible car accident to see the carnage but being repulsed after looking. This movie leaves one shocked and very emotional. Great acting, choregraphy and music. Just a real downer.
The Stoning of Suraya M will change you forever. You will feel emotions that you have not experienced before. This movie contains all the factors of Love, family, faith, loyalty, courage, sacrifice, and betrayal. It's a story that unveils an evil truth and makes all of us witness to a crime so evil it will change the way we see the world. You will never forget this movie, and you will be better
I highly, highly recommend this film. It's powerful, moving and a must-see. It sheds light on an issue on a horrific practice that must be ended.
I just finished the book, keeped me up at night thinking of this woman,will this movie be hitting the Wilkes Barre area in Pa??
The present movie industry owns the rights to all theaters, what can be shown or at ************** so. It is a monopoly by big business. I often wondered why garbage is shown in all theaters yet you have to search to find a quality movie. There are many out there; many are foreign made or independently made, but all good. Only a few are shown. Like this one, a movie that needs to be shown to see

Iranian American director Cyrus Nowrasteh, co-writing with wife Betsy Giffen Nowrasteh, has amplified the basic elements of Suraya's story into the worst kind of exploitive Hollywood melodrama, presented under the virtuous guise of moral outrage. Full Review

The sum is difficult to watch. But this isn't a film against Islam or religion in general: A clear distinction is made between Allah's more vicious followers and the mercy of Allah himself. Full Review

A timely story, given the political upheaval in Iran, it is emotionally explosive. It also is profoundly compelling. Full Review

The last thing I want to do is represent The Stoning of Soraya M. as entertainment, summer or otherwise. This is classic tragedy in semimodern dress that means to horrify, and does so more successfully than any film in recent memory. Full Review
