Review

7.0/10★★★★☆ 7.0
In a story intersected by brotherhood, class differences, and love, when the driver Muslüm tries to make his dreams come true, the audience faces unexpected tension. While the film offers a deep observation on social class distinctions, it also reveals the simple, unforgiving rules of love. The emotional conflict of muslim, which passes quickly but quickly through the world of Selcan's wealth, challenges the limits of empathy of the audience. The cast's performances, especially the tension between Müslüm and Selcan, are organically transmitted. The director, using the city as a character during stage passes, integrates the emotional journey of the characters with the city. Visual narrative creates a consistent atmosphere throughout the film, from nightclubs to casino lights. Thematically, the film presents a social critique beyond love. The destructive effect of money and power games on the individual makes the audience think, and the film leaves the audience with an unexpected end to a deep thought, but it keeps the curiosity alive by hiding the details of the end.

Pros1

  • Deep character analysis and realistic performances sharp criticism of atmospheric narrative social class differences with dramatic urban visualization

Cons1

  • Organizational density can slow down in some scenes. The development of secondary characters could be deeper.
