Until a badly misjudged "action movie" climax, a painful and harrowing depiction of true toxic masculinity, and how it infects a society and leads to gendered violence and exploitation. Beautifully performed by all; anchored by Aghdashloo's extraordinarily empathetic lead. The depiction of the stoning, while ghoulish and horrific, is the important and necessary climax to this story, bringing focus to the societal and familial rot that exists in communities which condone this treatment.

Shohreh Aghdashloo is mesmerizing with her sexy sultry voice. Mozhan Marnò was also very good. A tragic story of Islamic law subverted to kill a man's wife simply because he wants to marry another woman & didn't want to pay support. A true story of murder supported by the barbaric Islamic culture. This does an excellent job of putting a human face on a woman brutally killed for crimes she didn't commit. It exposes the sad disgusting society virtually devoid of decency, tolerance & common sense.

Part of that power comes from the way this film is constructed. The intimately vicious depictions of Soraya's death will likely remain in viewers minds for the rest of their lives. But could the same impact have been engineered without them? I don't know. But I would hope so, and I question whether such explicit brutality has to be given such prominent screen time in order for these kinds of stories to carry weight. (pluggedin.com)
