Reviews Counted:82

Fresh:77

Rotten:5

Average Rating:9.2/10

Consensus: The Stoning of Soraya M. nearly transcends its deficiencies through the sheer strength of its subject material, but ultimately drowns out its message with an inappropriately heavy-handed approach.

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for a disturbing sequence of cruel and brutal violence, and brief strong language

Runtime: 1 hr 56 mins

Genre: Dramas

Theatrical Release:Jun 26, 2009 Limited

Box Office: $519,730

Synopsis: In a world of secrecy, corruption and injustice, a single courageous voice can tell a true story that changes everything. This is what lies at the heart of the emotionally charged experience of... In a world of secrecy, corruption and injustice, a single courageous voice can tell a true story that changes everything.

This is what lies at the heart of the emotionally charged experience of The Stoning of Soraya M. Based on an incredible true story, this powerful tale of a village's persecution of an innocent woman becomes both a daring act of witness and a compelling parable about mob rule. Who will join forces with the plot against her, who will surrender to the mob, and who will dare to stand up for what is right. --© Official Site [More]
