"The Stoning of Soraya M." is turning out to be a highly anticipated movie, produced and directed by an Iranian film director and based on a true story about the way women are treated in Iran. Apparently it hits too close to home, since liberal movie critics are panning it as not "surreal" enough, and too dependent on reality to be an effective film. Read the review at Canada Free Press:
The arrogance of a white liberal film critic condemning an Iranian-American filmmaker for lacking political courage by making a movie protesting against the abuse of women in Iran is truly stunning. So stunning that I suspect Tobias would never get it. In his narrow leftist little world the only Iranians who have political courage are those who denounce George W. Bush.
