beautiful movie which failed to find an equilibrium
8 December 2015
The idea and story are good. The landscape tells a lot itself. Movie starts very promising, especially when the old mum is presenting potential brides :) The role of woman is also depicted very well. She was empowered by her family and made her own choice to work where she feels needed.

Movie overall is beautiful and is worth to watch. But the tools used to reveal the characters are too western. I did not meet my expectations of seeing anything about brave Kurds, about their moral codex, love and war. To me, director failed to find a equilibrium between grotesque (first part of movie) and Kurds' traditions.
