This film breaks my heart and uplifts my soul simultaneously. It takes the exposure of the death of an innocent woman to strike fear in the hearts of the men who persecuted her. It's their own fear of being found out, not the remorse for the sinful crime they've committed, that makes a few of them reevaluate what they've done. There are moments in the film where the characters can hault the stoning of Soraya but they choose not to. It is not just Soraya's death but the men's choice to do evil when they could do good that incites anger into the viewer. It is scary to know that there are cultures who still practice injustice in the name of their God and of their self-made laws. Definitely see this film. It is culturally significant and incredibly important given what is going on in Iran today. Instead of turning away from what we know if going on, turn towards the heartbreaking performances of the actors who deserve Oscars for their roles in this film.… Expand

Such a stridently powerful film. It brings to light and issue that must be exposed! I strongly support positive change in Iran and this movie will definitely serve as a catalyst to that cause. Furthermore the acting, the atmosphere and themes themselves all make for an immersing film that you'll have to see to truly understand. I highly recommend this film for activist and film-lover alike.

In a word: impactful. Well acted. Although some characters seem to be rather poorly drawn in order to simply advance to the stoning; there is little ambivalence and shading, which would have added to making the film feel less partial, without taking away the powerful reaction viewers feel about the inhumanity of the unjust "punishment" as well as the horrible conditions that women live in under Sharia law.… Expand

insightful, enlightening, poignant, truthful, and courageous! For all the women without a voice... Before I saw the movie, I prepared myself for the violence. I knew that it would have a sad ending. This movie is touching. It moves you and it gently brings you to a reality that is rarely seen in our faded eyes. This is one of the movies that are based on true reality, the reality that women still face today which is beyond my imagination. At the same time, I am a woman living in the United States and sometimes I even feel like my voice is not being heard. I value and admire the strength of the quiet, strong, hardworking woman who never complains about her life. She lives with dignity.… Expand

I think it's a very good movie... everyone must see it.. I can't believe this things happens nowadays..!!! Someone has to defend those woman's lives !

A powerful and wonderfully adapted story; not once did the film feel fake or contrived in any way! Shohreh Aghdashloo is phenomenal and I really do believe she deserves and Oscar Nomination.

An outstanding movie!!!! create an awareness of so many women and children who goes not only through physical abuse but also psychological. It will move your heart!

If you want to see what is going on around the world and injustice that many people around the world are going through watch this movie!!!

Inspirational movie! Must see it! let the movie open your eyes and heart!

It was very disturbing. Very thought-provoking. I wanted to yell out in the theatre, "And these are the kinds of people that Obama wants to negotiate and chat with!"

The oppressive reality of this movie is haunting in a life changing way. It makes you want to stand up for women who are oppressed and makes you value the human rights we freely have in the United States. This movie is a call to action and a slap in the face to oppressive cultures who support injustice.

It's a great movie, It touch me! I can believe this thing's still happening today!!!

Wonderful look into the issue of women's rights and social justice! Definitely recommend!

This is a powerful and life-changing movie. The message is one you have to see for yourself, it can't just be told.

A powerful and touching story The film, based on the true account of a woman unjustly stoned to death, that shows the injustice across the world no matter culturals or gendre conditions. Not to be missed.

An unbelievable film. So captivating and heart gripping. A must see!!!

Amazing movie!

Powerful movie in every way! such a strong reality will take your breath away!! MUST SEE IT!

The Stoning was an honest look into the reality of the social injustice occurring in the Middle East. The film portrayed important points regarding an isue which is too often easily overlooked. An eye-opening film that will touch your heart and make you think.

Excellent, must see R-rated brutal film about injustice in Iran, something Iran itself will not discuss, and will not be mentioned on the evening news that is too fixated on Michael Jackson and other fluff pieces that get ratings but say very little of importance.

Remarkable movie...excellent acting and script!! An entire village tried to cover up their injustice and only one witness was unwilling to stay silent. Her only hope of letting everyone her burning secret is a journalist who happens to walk into town the day after this shameful crime took place. It's unforgettable! I greatly recommend it!

Exploitative and as disgusting as passion of the christ in fomenting blood lust!

This was so hard to watch but I'm glad I did it. There is no honor in any honor killings! Go see the film and help end stoning forever. This is for all those who care about women's rights and human rights around the world.

Beautifully shot film with an ugly truth behind it. i can't believe this is based on a true story and that this is still practiced today. powerful message. i recommend this to all those who care about these types of senseless killing.

Great movie! I'm glad I watched it.

Fantastic film ... a real eye-opener as to the plight of women in Iran. One wonders how much has changed since her stoning in 1986!

The Stoning is an amazing movie!! Steve McEveety once again makes a unique inspiring piece of art. It is one of those movies that will move your emotions. A very well done movie in every aspect of it!

Very powerful story and excellent acting.

This movie is incredibly powerful! The way that they depict the injustices done to women all over the world is so enlightening! Please go to the movie's website to see what you can do to help spread the word and help Women's Rights around the world!

I just saw this movie and have but one word. WOW! I honestly struggle with how to put into words what this movie provokes. I was blown away by the struggle of this one woman who would not give in to this terrible injustice. I definitely recommend this movie.

Amazing! This movie touch me... I think that we have to join our voices and defend the human dignity !!!
