Summary:A simple purpose underlies "The Stoning of Soraya M.", fulfilled without distractions by director Cyrus Nowrasteh. Based on the 1994 novel by Freidoune Sahebjam, it's a streamlined, real-time depiction of the true event promised by the title: the brutal communal stoning of a woman that took place in newly post-revolutionary Iran. A fervent outcry against the abuses subjected on women not only in Iran – with which we've all become familiar during the past two weeks – but throughout much of the world, it successfully provokes feelings of uncontrollable outrage.
