Turn in the Wound

This documentary is profoundly disappointing, exploiting the theme of the war in Ukraine. It presents a disjointed narrative where a significant portion, notably the Patti Smith segment, lacks any meaningful substance. The stories of the characters are not woven into a cohesive narrative. The film fails to answer direct questions posed by the filmmaker himself (which are not rhetorical!). The production seems careless, showing a lack of respect for both the subjects and the audience. The editing and cinematography make watching the film a physically uncomfortable experience.

When tackling a sensitive and painful topic like an ongoing war, the filmmaker has no right to adopt a careless attitude under the guise of artistic vision.
