Review of The Stoning of Soraya M. (2009) by Babba — 25 Oct 2014

I found this movie emotionally extremely powerful in the sense that although I am quite a stoic person, I could feel the fear Soraya and her Aunt were going through and the humiliation Soraya was subjected to.

I cannot imagine what the two ladies must have gone through in real life. Another very important point made by the movie is that the ancient way of dispensing justice has no place in modern times because human beings are imperfect and can manipulate such simplistic and biased laws.

It may be a simple and for some even slow movie but it's impact is profound on people who believe that justice must be done. They will enjoy it, love it and loath it at the same time. Loathe it for such great injustice done to Soraya.
