Audience Member When I look to rotten tomato, I want the Audience Rating, ALWAYS! Who in real life cares about critics rating, seriously! The fact that critics rating is somehow the default score is just corrupt. Frankly it doesn't even deserve an independent scoring system, especially in light of how unbelievably out of touch these people are. Why is ANY critics' opinion EVER more important than any other viewer?! Does it take a medical doctorate to make writing about films a profession? The 'critics' that snootily dismiss a film raising awareness of this true story are worse than spineless. They are cold blooded. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/25 Full Review Jolin S Shame on all the negative reviews of this movie. Everyone should watch this movie in honor of Soraya and to show the world just how horrifying human rights are in this part of the world. To see how an innocent women can be falsely accused of infidelity and then sentenced an utterly unimaginable penalty, stoning to death, is both shocking and shameful. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/25 Full Review dave s The Stoning of Soraya M., the true story of an Iranian woman falsely convicted of adultery and sentenced to death, is an important story to tell. Unfortunately, the film is a ham-fisted attempt to share the story. The first half is filled with one-dimensional characters speaking in stilted dialogue. To top it off, it contains some of the most pointless and irritating editing in recent memory, often resembling a hyperactive MTV video. One would think longer cuts would give the viewer time to contemplate the horror of the situation, but such is not the case. To be fair, the second half of the movie is much more impactful as the filmmakers rely more on images to create the drama and the excessive dialogue that plagues the first half is mercifully scaled back. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Magnificienf performances by the two main female characteras. Heartbreaking film. A real story about lies and laws that should never existed. I stand for Soraya and all women in this world that have to live under patriarchal oppression Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review rashid w A well made movie both subtle and brutal. Sheds a light on a great injustice without being preachy. Good filmmaking allows you to just focus on the story. Good performances and story makes it a great film but it's as much of an education as it is entertainment. Don't look away.
