Such a cinematic gem!

Despite the fact that it is a first time director piece, oke can easily experience the quality of storytelling in this piece of art. I truly appreciate European cinema for making the most out of actor performance that make the whole story even more believable. I can only thank the filmmakers for gifting us with such a great visual beauty. I would hope to be able to meet with the director and ask him his thinking behind this great story.

Such a realistic drama

Everything about the movie is just great. Dialogues and actings are so natural, feels like another day in life but a pretty bad one. I personally appreciate these kind of movies that makes me question what's right or wrong and who's good or bad. It shows that those labels are so fluid and depends on the perspective.

Excellent drama. Very real and gut-wrenching.

Slow moving but captivating at every moment. This is not a flashy movie, or a story that has some unrealistic twists to make it into a drama. I found myself glued to it. Both the direction and the acting were excellent.

The Turkish dialog is very natural and real speech, unlike some "film" dialog from Turkish movies that don't feel true. In this movie, people speak as real Turks speak in daily life.

The ordinary and mundane things happening in the lives of these people become intensely stressful moments as events unfold and situations get more complicated.

I hope this movie will find a large audience both within and outside of Turkey, I would love to see what comes next from this director. I also hope that for non-Turkophones there are good subtitles that convey the tone of the original dialog.
