Why the need to put every Turkish problem in one film all at once?
10 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This film feels like a very complex dystopic salad with overused ingredients.

Feels more like a documentary trying its best to contain as many current world problems as possible rather than a film.

Alright the film has a story to tell, but this story is trying to showcase every problem in Turkey all at once, which was, for me, tiring to watch.

Economical problems, the refugee problem and how natives take financial advantage of of them, the women's rights, the unlawful destruction and construction of buildings, ignorance, everything all in one film. I saw some reviews of people saying "They didn't mention the topic of unattained teachers" as if its a film's responsibility to show everything, but in this case, they show too many problems and leave them superficial that I can understand people being like "They didn't tell my problem:( "

Second time watching didn't go so well with me.

Props to the team though, hope they take this criticism as a "criticisim" and not a hate comment.

Can't wait to see what comes next!
