"I always knew that this was happening, but after watching the movie it changed my perspective. Sometimes we know there's injustice in the world, but we don't understand how big that can be, until we see it. I'm glad I watched it. "

"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.

"The Stoning of Soraya M."

"One of the things I loved about this film is that is shows both the physical abuse and also the verbal abuse that one of the main characters underwent. Many times we think that abuse is just physical, but it can actually be verbal and emotional as well. The Stoning is a great drama that shows the harsh reality and how we need to stand up for what is right. Check this one out! "

"This is a breathtaking film. It is both brutal and honest to an extent that I can hardly express. Throughout the films heart wrenching title scene I just wanted to jump into the screen and save her.

"Agree with most of you here. The film was a very surreal experience. Women's rights have been abused in Iran for years. I have a friend who has experienced it first hand. I just wish there was more awareness over this issue. Can't wait to see how other filmgoers respond to this film and how it illustrates the brutal reality of what's really going on there. Powerfully moving...great acting all around and the final scene especially will hit you very hard. Check this one out."

"It's one of the most controversial films of the year...

An innocent woman was unjustly assassinated and there is one witness who refused to be silent in the midst of a village who would stop at nothing to keep the secret within their walls. Her only hope to get the truth out is a journalist who visits the village and must escape with the story.

I really recommend it! Remarkable."
