6/10
The thriller that lost its direction
11 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
What I can clearly say about the movie is that it had a surprisingly strong first half that exceeded my expectations; it started off very suspenseful and realistic. It continued in that manner until the last 25-30 minutes, but towards the end, it truly lost track of the entire plot and shifted focus from the couple committing the murder to trying to convey a social message. I wish it had completed the suspense first and then delivered the necessary message.

In my opinion, the performances were quite successful. Selahattin Pasali continues to impress me; he truly embodied his role, and I congratulate him for that. I can also say that his monologues were very well delivered.

Let me mention a disastrous aspect of the film: the sound mixing. The motor noises from the surroundings were terribly mixed; they often overshadowed the dialogues, making some conversations hard to hear.

Now, let me address the part that bothered me the most, the scene where the police got involved. There's a murder situation at hand, the situation is dire, yet it seemed absurd to me that they focused on why your boyfriend, who is 15 years older, was present. A much more detective-like, mysterious ending could have been written; the ending was quite mediocre. The only thing I wish had been different was the shift in direction, as the beautiful dialogues in the middle of the film ended up going to waste.
