While rotten tomato seems to have given it a final rating of 55%, IMDB placed it at a 7.8. I thought this was a nice discussion on the movie, as I had not seen a trailer for it until this moment. I want to see this movie and my drive has been further influenced by Shohreh Aghdashloo discussion on her country, fear for her family's lives and her activism. I know little about her as an actress but wish to learn more as she seems like a great role model.

My husband is from Iran and he was hoping that one day they would make a movie about somthing nice about Iran,all we see is the bad.I saw the movie and when it came time for the stoning I walked out,but I should have stayed they didn't really show a stoning I have seen one on the internet. You have to remember that this is not just happening in Iran. We as women need to stop this act that goes on in alot of countrys.

This is a theocracy, the governing by men, for men with no voice to women and girls. They are led by the religious leaders. And just who are these leaders and what doctrine do they enforce?

This looks so powerful, I want to see it! I am so sorry for her niece, who was stoned to death for being falsely accused of adultery. Sharia law must be examined by the world and I think particularly by Muslims. It does not allow for individual judgement, and why would you be gifted with this if all situations are to be judged the same?

any word that begins with "mono" comes from a male's point of view. to abstract, to draw a line in the sand, to say there is one deity, to see things in black and white...thankfully, this is dying and has been for more than a century. one day intuition and holism will be seen as important as rationalism and reductionism. we have been under the thumb of monotheism for a long time...it is like turning the titanic around. just know that, regardless of all the strife people are going through, the wheel is turned all the way to the left.

I saw the movie forget what the critics say.see it for yourself.

America Used to Speek out against things like Stoning of Women and yes our CIA did what it could do to help People like the Green Party in Iran. We did not always get it right..True But if you ask People who now live in Free Countrys thanks to efforts of our CIA they would not have us do it any other way ...We Elecetd a new government who basically said we are going to do nothing about bad things happening around the World thanks to the Internet we all get to see what will happen when the 'Police of the World" step off the stage.
