Having a strong, true story like this paired with moderate acting and directing could have resulted a great and powerful movie, something like Iranian directors so impressively produce since decade. Instead of choosing this way of movie making, the director uses every possible tool to "strengthen" the drama, like theatrical setting of the actors, hyper- dramatic etc as if he would think that just the tragedy of stoning an innocent woman wouldn't be enough for the audience. Maybe for people accustomed these Hollywood properties this is indeed necessary, but for me it was just fake and even a bit tasteless as I felt the tragedy and the suffering was just sold out very cheaply. Yes, this question is still important but I am still waiting for a decent one and meanwhile I can suggest to watch Iranian made movies instead of this one.
