Review by tomyargo

It is not for international audience. To be able to understand this movie you need to understand Turkish underground culture. The underground, family, traditions etc. Too many subcultural motive used. For example, the patriarchal hierarchy. Big brother came home with covered mud, ask 'where have you been, I called you and you did not answer' than go rage and use his belt and hit, beat his two siblings. Due to customs, if your big brother punishes you, you should not respond (he is your elder). His anger is not genuine, his rage and beat also kind of fake. In Turkish culture, if goes rage like that, consider funny. Because he is elder, he should be calm and collected; but he is covered mud. Safak Sezer gets angry so beautifully, similar to George Costanza/ Seinfeld. More the anger, more funny.

Linguistically, it is challenging movie also very male oriented movie.

If you know the sub-culture codes, it is a gem. If you don't, you are not in the position of understanding.
