The movie serves as a drama and a crime mystery while criticizing daytime TV and marital relations in the US.
The movie opens as a drama. The soundtrack and audio cues have the making of a drama. Reasonably bold camera angles are reminiscent of recent popular dramas - akin to Boyhood (2014), if you watched that.
And just as you are about get to bored with the drama, the movie takes a different turn, and begins to unfold as a crime mystery. It still succeeds at retaining the drama quality in all aspects, but the story becomes captivating and interesting. The twists in the story are not heralded with blatant cues, but they are many. You find yourself more and more drawn in as the story keeps hitting you with new twists and dark witty humor.
You could think of it as Insomnia (2002) meets Se7en (1995).
I marked it down for a feminist critique: As my girlfriend pointed out, the movie is based on one female-specific trope. The movie just does not work if you replace the genders of the main characters. It is based on a gender-based stereotype. In fact, the storyline is based on a number of well-founded stereotypes, including those about certain states and regions of the US. Some behavior is so stereotypical that it is just unrealistic.
Still, an entertaining use of your two and a half hours.

Many movie-makers find a captivating contrast but few work it as intelligent as Taking My Parents to Burning Man. It is rare that you find yourself laughing continuously at a documentary that feels this honest yet is smart and sophisticated. It is a 10k$ school project, but feels as professional as prime time TV or a blockbuster.
The contrast is the director's (Bryant Boesen) parents' going to the radical self-expression festival, Burning Man. As somebody who never heard about the festival, within minutes, I had a clear idea about it. By the end, I knew what it was about, and I had had my best laugh in some time.
It is easy to watch, gets your attention immediately and keeps you laughing throughout as you learn what Burning Man is about and how the parents of this radically-dressed young director interact with it. It is a refreshing change from the complicated world of independent movies.

This is a must-see movie if you are somehow interested in PKK terror throughout the 90s. It is of further interest for those interested in how a successful movie can be produced with professional directing despite an almost-all amateur cast.
It is apparent that a good part of the scenario is based on real events: From personal experience, I recall reading about of the occasions and situations in the movie from the local media. The battle scenes are quite graphic and accurate. The characters feel quite real. They are not necessarily deep, but depth of character is not really necessary for the storyline, as this movie is about the lives of soldiers in an obscure, remote military post.
The camera use in the movie is excellent. In the opening scenes, the audience experiences the vastness of the landscape. The feeling of loneliness and being deserted is strongly conveyed. Further into the movie, the camera is used professionally to convey a feeling of urgency in the battle scenes, of which there are only a few. It is equally professional in conveying tranquility, and if you watch the movie, you will see one climax where this contrast is made very apparent.
In various connecting scenes, the passage of time and the feeling of timelessness is communicated through fast moving clouds, reminiscent of Donnie Darko.
On a further note, most of the actors are either amateurs or had very short acting careers. However, the director manages to offset this setback by using different camera angles where the audience does not have to see the faces of the actors to understand their feelings or mood. This movie is an excellent example of low budget casting can be more successful than many professional actors when good directorship is used.
Those being said, there are some unnecessarily long scenes in the second part of the movie, where the captain explains in head-aching detail his philosophy and thoughts as he becomes more and more suicidal. However, I do not take any points off my score for this setback, because long live the Turkish warriors. 10/10
