4/10
Poor acting, poor direction

Warning: Spoilers
It's just the scenario that holds this piece together. Yet it's not enough. Even the cinematography didn't cut it.

After hearing much praise about this movie in Turkish media, I watched the movie with great expectations.

** Spoilers ahead *** The scene where the car hits the truck was pathetic. How expensive can it be to use a second hand car and give the audience a realistic accident? Mustafa's mother screams like mad while Mustafa is destroying her wife's sculptures. What kind of scream is that? WTF? It just doesn't fit in.

The scene where Mustafa is overtaking the fat lady is another comedy. Even though there's plenty of room, the witch keeps driving in the middle of the road and just won't let Mustafa drive by. Why? I have never came across to such dumb driving. It's not realistic at all.

What a waste of time. I see the high IMDb rating and laugh my back off! Nationalists at work, I guess. If this flick had been produced in USA, it would have a hard time to pass the 6.0 line.
