The Stoning of Soraya M.: An Unflinching Look at the Unconscionable
Tiffany I agree that it’s an important film and I think that everyone should HAVE to watch it. But at the same time I can’t in good conscience recommend it to people, because it was so horribly disturbing to me. I think that the lenghty and graphic and hollywood/Pecknpah-ish portrayal of the actual stoning was a bit much, so much so that for most people it will just trigger their denial and they’ll quickly forget it. I think the director could have made his point more effectively with less. Or perhaps more Hitchcockian – the violence more suggested than focused on directly. At any rate, definitely an important story to be told – I hope enough people listen.
