Mubi

This is another Mubi production we watched, thanks to Mubi's exploration of the American continent. I haven't been able to see Zia Anger's 2018 work of the same name, I searched but couldn't find it - I wish Mubi had made that available too.

Zia Anger has attempted to create a very unique piece of work, and for a debut film, it's quite a professional effort, although it's not really a debut production. Anger's mastery of her craft is undeniable, not just as a director but also as a screenwriter.

I agree that this film stands out among the flood of festival/independent/art-house films (it's festival season in Turkey and around the world, as you know). The cast Anger has assembled is truly impressive.

The film manages to rise above mediocrity, perhaps its biggest handicap is being released at the wrong time. But in the long run, the film will find its audience, and so will Zia Anger.
