Saw a very intense movie titled The Stoning of Saraya M that was absolutely haunting. Iranian director I think and some Iranian American actors. Not sure where it was made, but it was a courageous movie about the horrifying practice in some muslim countries of stoning for infidelity.

The Descendants is adapted from a novel- I'm glad you mentioned it; I meant to put it on my library list after I saw the movie and I forgot. Thanks for the reminder! I liked the movie, too. I wasn't a George Clooney fan for the longest time, but the older he gets, the more I like him as an actor. I thought he was terrific in The Descendants.
