The Stoning of Soraya M is based on a true story where a husband (Ali) wants to get rid of his wife (Soraya) so he could go marry somebody else, so they plot to kill her by throwing stones at her until she dies. The stoning scene is certainly not for the faint of heart, it really disturbed and upset me. I hate the fact that women in the middle east are still being treated like this! And they always go on about how they're doing this for god, god wouldn't have wanted any of this! God wants peace and love. Please watch this movie, it is a must see before you die! Also when you finish watching this, tell your friends about this movie and they'll recommend it to their friends as well! This is a story that deserves to be heard.

Here I'm writing my review so my Muslim friends can read it.Sharia law, a disgusting inhuman act that still exist. This isn't only in Iran. Many Muslim countries doing this.When I was watching this movie . It felt so real. At the ending, I start crying, and I cried non-stop. Very emotional and sad thing to watch.. I wasn't mentally prepared for this. All i Wanna say, watch it. Especially all Muslims.

This film deserves a 10 out of 10... The true story is so heartbreaking and sad, and astonishing, that watcher cannot hold it sometimes. The fate of the poor Soraya is so terrible and miserable that one cannot help from crying... A heinous husband (if we may use this term to describe such a villain, such a bastard...) who set up a devilish plot to get rid of his wife (who bored him four children, stood aside to him 20 years and should be very beloved) to marry a 14 years old girl, who could be his daughter, helped in this atrocious plan by corrupted Muslim priest and Mayor; and made this to a creature as Soraya, so lovely, so sweet, so caring, with a beautiful soul and feelings, with so sad and tender eyes, who deserves only to be loved and cared of... I have been so taken by this film that I was pretty intoxicated, and I've been so moved, so touched by Soraya's story that I couldn't breath. Soraya's and her aunt's characters are played in an outstanding way, actresses deserve an Oscar. This film is a must see for people who loves Cinema, if the viewer can bear the terribly appalling execution scene. It's a shame that there still are places in the world where women are so ill-treated and have to endure such ordeals.

A tip: If you are born a female, make sure it's not in Iran.They say it themselves: If you're accused of having an affair, and you're a woman, it's not up to them to prove you're guilty, but for you to establish your innocence. Of course with men, it's the other way around. You've bore your violent husband two girls and two boys and been married to him for twenty years. Suddenly one day, he decides to hitch up with a 14 year old girl instead. That's gratitude for you. But you won't give him a divorce, due to the fact it would leave you virtually penniless. So, he does the only thing a nasty bastard could do... he makes up a cock and bull story about you having an affair with a neighbour... and enlists the help of the local corrupt law officials in his plan. And the punishment for such a crime is... well, look at the title.The Stoning Of Soraya M, as told by Soraya's aunt after the event to a journalist, is one of the hardest films to watch that I've seen in many a moon. Throughout, the sense of injustice and frustration at such an unfair situation makes you want to scream, and the uncomfortableness factor is moved up about 50 notches at the stoning itself... when everyone, from Soraya's sons to her own father takes it in turns to chuck rocks at her while she's half buried in the soil. Of course, the injuries are graphically displayed... Making this possibly the most upsetting final act since Jesus's fate was sealed in The Passion Of The Christ. Both are extended slow deaths where nothing is left to the imagination, so make sure you're mentally prepared before submitting yourself to such a brutal experience.Brilliantly acted, and echoing with the ring of truth, as the epilogue reminds us: this sort of barbarism is still taking place all over the world. We may THINK we're civilised, but incidences like this prove we still have a LONG way to go. Disgraceful. 7/10
