Have seen a number of great Turkish movies, Iklimler, Gegen die Wand, Mustang, and of course the magic Winter Sleep - but found this one to be the absolute nadir of cinematic skills from the region. The acting was ultra contrived, the dialogue was wooden, there was no continuity and scenes were inserted and then not concluded but just left hanging. For the best part of two hours my partner and I were left alternatively yawning and trying to figure out why a certain clip had been inserted without any reference to the main story line, which at best was weak to almost non-existent. I might watch another offering by Demirkubuz - but I'll give it ten minutes, and if he doesn't grab my attention by then, I'd rather quit.
