Review of The Stoning of Soraya M. (2009) by Matt S — 20 Mar 2010
An very important film to watch and a very tough watch as well, it will stir your emotions and break your heart, it makes me very angry that this disgusting practice still goes and how people can just stand there and do nothing.
This is very similar to the film The Passion Of The Christ to the brutality that it's victim endures and pretty much dies for other peoples sins, it's an outrage. The acting was strong in this especially from Mozhan Marno who plays Soraya M.
as well as Shohreh Aghdashloo who plays Sahra who tells the tragic story of The Stoning of Soraya M. I never been so distraught and on the edge yelling at the screen in a while and it will definitely drain your emotions and be warned that the stoning is very graphic and horrific and shocking that I had to cover my eyes a bit so if you are squeamish go in the other room because it's very hard to watch mentally and physically.
Overall this is a powerful story that was well filmed and acted and needs to be seen and heard and never fogotten but I will probably will never want to watch it again. Recommended with caution.
